Iceland vs Portugal Predictions and Free Betting Tips from expert tipsters when they go head-to-head in the UEFA Euro Qualification on Tuesday, 20 June 2023.
Iceland are set to host Portugal at Laugardalsvollur Stadium for their upcoming Group J Euro qualifying fixture. Iceland has a mixed record heading into this game. However, the benefit of being in the top two in the group would be theirs if they won this game.
Their opponents, Portugal are the group frontrunner after their impressive performance thus far. They’ll be travelling for this one after previously winning 6-0 away to Luxembourg on Matchday 2.
The last time these two teams met was in June 2016. The match ended in a 1-1 draw that day.
Portugal are on a three-game unbeaten streak against this opposition. They have also won this fixture on two of those occasions.
We are counting on Portugal to pull off a win here. The World Cup quarterfinalists have shown excellent form in this tournament. Furthermore, two of their last four away matches have also ended in victories.
Iceland, on the other side, has a dismal form, having suffered two defeats in their last three matches before facing Slovakia.
We expect goals in this match. In three of Iceland’s past four matches, there have been more than 2.5 goals scored. Also, along with their current strong goal-scoring run, Portugal has also scored 11 goals in their last four away games.
By the looks of things, a high-scoring affair is expected this time out.
Portugal have an excellent form heading into the match. They have also won two of their past four away matches. They also have an excellent record against Iceland. Furthermore, Iceland had a mediocre form going into the match.
A -1.0 Asian handicap on Portugal at 1.70 odds will be our main betting pick here considering all the observations.
For the second tip, over 2.5 goals at 1.85 odds seems very promising. Considering both teams recent goal involvement in their matches and their past results.
