Wales vs Iceland Prediction

Wales are unbeaten in the Nations League thus far, though three of the five games have ended in draws. They are on a three-game winning streak at home against the visitors and will look to build on that form.

Strákarnir okkar have scored two goals each in their last three games in the Nations League and will look to continue their prolific run here. They have won just one of their nine away games in the competition and might struggle here.

The Dragons have the better defensive record in the competition and, considering their unbeaten home record in this fixture, we back the hosts to come out victorious here.

Prediction: Wales 2-0 Iceland
