Iceland vs Wales Tips

Tip 1

Earlier this month, Bellamy labelled the forward an ‘elite’ footballer with ‘ridiculous talent’, indicating exactly how integral he views the 23-year-old to his plans.

Johnson has scored six goals in as many games for Tottenham Hotspur, rippling the net against Coventry City, Qarabag, Ferencvaros, Brentford, Man United and most recently Brighton before breaking for international duty.

Tip 2

At odds of 12/1 it’s worth some loose change on this speculative punt for Joe Allen to be the first player carded in the game.

He’s already received one booking for Swansea this term and will be operating in a crucial position in the middle of the park against an Iceland team who will look to spring counter-attacks against Wales’ attempts to control possession.

Given that Allen last represented his country almost two years ago at the 2022 World Cup, plus receiving 18 yellows in 74 caps for the Dragons, the midfielder will always act in the best interests of his team.

Iceland Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

A win over Montenegro and defeat to Turkey leaves Iceland with three points and a neutral goal difference heading into this clash with Wales.

Iceland have no fresh injury concerns ahead of this match.

Iceland Predicted XI: Valdimarsson; Sampsted, Hermansson, Ingason, Finnsson; Anderson, Gudmundsson, Thordarson, Thorsteinsson; Sigurdsson; Oksarsson.

Wales Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

Four points from Craig Bellamy’s opening two games as Wales boss is a promising start, especially after keeping group leaders Turkey at bay in a 0-0 draw at the Cardiff City Stadium.

Bellamy has persuaded midfielder Joe Allen to reverse his decision on international retirement, and the 34-year-old is in line to start this away game in Iceland.

Wales Predicted XI: Ward; Roberts, Mepham, Rodon, Davies; Wilson, Allen, Cooper, Koumas; Johnson; Moore.
