Iceland vs Portugal Prediction: We bet on the victory of the Portuguese national team

Prediction for the Euro 2024 Iceland vs Portugal match which will take place on June 20th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

The Iceland national team became known when they qualified for two major tournaments – the 2016 European Championship and the 2018 World Cup. However, the northern team slowly began to return to their level and missed the next two tournaments (EURO 2020 and the World Cup in Qatar) without qualifying. At the moment, there are significant doubts that Icelanders will get to EURO 2024.

The team suffered two defeats in the three opening rounds. In March, the Icelanders defeated Bosnia 0:3 and defeated Liechtenstein 7:0. In the first June match, Iceland lost at home to Slovakia – 1:2. Therefore, in games with two opponents for the second place of group J, the Slovaks and the Bosnians, the Icelandic national team has zero points so far.

A new stage has begun for the Portuguese national team with the qualifying tournament for the 2024 European Championship. Now the head coach of the Portuguese is Roberto Martinez, ex-coach of the Belgian national team. First, the Portuguese beat Liechtenstein at home (4:0). They won on the road against Luxembourg (6:0). Then, Portugal confidently coped with the Bosnians on their pitch – 3:0. It is worth mentioning Cristiano Ronaldo, who continues to play for the national team and has already scored four goals in the current qualifying tournament.

Iceland is not a severe opponent for all more or less strong teams. They failed to cope with Bosnia and Slovakia, missing five goals in these games. Under Roberto Martinez's leadership, the Portuguese national team began to play more aggressively than Fernando Santos, the previous head coach. It means that in a meeting with the Icelanders, who are not the most reliable in defense, the Portuguese will undoubtedly be able to show good game again. We bet on the victory of the Portuguese national team, which scored 13 goals in the three opening rounds.
