Iceland vs Slovakia Prediction: Waiting for Tons of Goals Scored

Prediction for the match between Iceland vs Slovakia, which will take place on June 17. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options!

Over the last three years, Iceland has won only three official matches, all over Liechtenstein. In the League of Nations, their four games ended in a draw. At the start of the Euro selection, they lost to Bosnia and Herzegovina - 0:3. But in the 2nd round against Liechtenstein, the team had enough fun and won 7:0. Aron Gunnarsson netted his hat-trick, and Jón Dagur Thorsteinsson made three assists. By the way, Thorsteinsson had a good season at Belgian Heverlee Leuven, scoring 12 goals in the national championship. Compared with the last match Andri Gudjohnsen was not included in the roster, who had a goal against Liechtenstein, and in general, the national team of Iceland has made it without severe losses.

The Slovaks have a fairly experienced squad, and the current generation only has a little time left to make noise. Stanislav Lobotka is already 28 years old. Many players from the top European championships are over 30, so Euro 2024 is especially important for the team. Now the Slovaks are in the 2nd place in the group with 4 points after the first two qualifying rounds. A draw with Luxembourg in Matchday 1 spoiled the picture, but a 2:0 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina improved their chances of success. Francesco Calzona's side ended their winless streak of six games, and at the same time, they finally scored during almost 200 minutes of playing time. As for the squad, the most serious loss was Inter midfielder Milan Skriniar and Martin Valjent.

The Slovaks looked less confident in their victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina than the final score might suggest. The opponents had their chances, and it will be harder to hold off Iceland's attacks on the road. The Scandinavian team had already had a good time against Liechtenstein, and that success should not be underestimated. Their opponent was weak, but scoring seven goals is not common, even against a small and unfortunate team. The teams can show a spectacular game.
