Wales - LDWDWD
The Wales manager Craig Bellamy has a full complement, with no fitness worries whatsoever coming into this clash owing to a fully healthy squad available for selection.
We think that The Dragons could use a 4-2-3-1 system for this one with Karl Darlow, Connor Roberts, Joe Rodon, Ben Davies, Neco Williams, Josh Sheehan, Jordan James, Daniel James, Harry Wilson, Sorba Thomas and Brennan Johnson.
Wales enter this game coming off the back of a 0-0 Nations League drawn result vs Turkey.
In that game, Wales managed 37% possession and 4 attempts at goal with 1 on target. On the other side, Turkey had 25 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target.
Craig Bellamy's Wales have celebrated scoring a sum total of 5 times over their preceding 6 outings. At the other end, the number of goals that have been scored against them in those fixtures is 7.
Iceland - LWLDLW
Owing to a fully healthy group available to choose from, the Iceland boss Åge Hareide has no fitness concerns to report ahead of this game.
From our viewpoint, Strákarnir okkar seem most likely to utilise a 4-3-3 formation by sending out H. Rafn Valdimarsson, V. L. Fridriksson, Victor Palsson, Sverrir Ingi Ingason, Alfons Sampsted, J. Berg Gudmundsson, A. Ingvi Traustason, Stefan Thordarson, Andri Gudjohnsen, Orri Oskarsson and Jon Thorsteinsson.
Iceland head into the game after a 0-2 Nations League win in the defeat of Montenegro in their most recent outing.
In that game, Iceland had 49% possession and 12 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. For Iceland, the goalscorers were Orri Steinn Óskarsson (74') and Ísak Bergmann Jóhannesson (88'). At the other end, Montenegro had 16 attempts at goal with 3 on target.
Proving their predisposition for productive matches, the back of the net has been hit 21 times in the previous six matches in which Iceland have taken to the pitch, making it an average of 3.5 goals for each fixture. Opposition teams have got 13 of those goals. Even so, we must now wait to see whether that pattern will be maintained in this next game or not.
Wales possible starting lineup:
Darlow; Roberts, Mepham, Davies, Williams; J. James, Sheehan; D. James, Wilson, Thomas; Johnson
Iceland possible starting lineup:
Valdimarsson; Lunddal, Palsson, Ingason, Sampsted; Gudmundsson, Traustason, Johannesson, Thorsteinsson; Gudjohnsen, Oskarsson
Wales vs Iceland Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
The two teams have crossed paths eight times in all competitions. The hosts have the better record in these meetings with five wins. Strákarnir okkar have got the better of the Dragons once and two games have ended in draws.
The hosts are unbeaten in their last five meetings against Strákarnir okkar and the reverse fixture in October ended in a 2-2 draw.
Wales are unbeaten in the Nations League thus far, playing three draws and keeping three clean sheets.
Iceland have enjoyed a good goalscoring run in the Nations League, scoring two goals apiece in four of the five games. They have scored and conceded nine goals in these games.
The Dragons have won three of their four home games in this fixture
Prediciton: Wales 1-0 Iceland
Wales have not been pulling up trees on the attacking front over the past six months, but Bellamy's men should back themselves to keep Iceland at arm's length in Cardiff after their dogged defensive display in Turkey. Fatigue on both sides after respective long journeys could give rise to a drab, low-scoring affair, but the Dragons have our backing to come up with the crucial moment and ensure at least a second-placed finish in the section.
