The UEFA Nations League campaign continues this Monday with Turkey set to take on Iceland in what is sure to be an intriguing matchup.
This is set to be the 14th meeting between these two teams.
Iceland has the advantage over Turkey having won 8 of the games. This to Turkey’s 2 wins. There has also been 3 draws.
In fact, Iceland are unbeaten in the last 4 games against Turkey with this Monday’s hosts last winning in October 2015. Will the same happen in this game?
Coming into this game there are no new injury issues.
However Turkey will be without Barış Alper Yılmaz who saw red in the previous match against Wales.
Turkey - Mert Günok, Mert Müldür, Abdülkerim Bardakçı, Çağlar Söyüncü, Kaan Ayhan, Mehmet Zeki Çelik, Kenan Yıldız, İsmail Yüksek, Orkun Kökçü, Arda Güler, Mehmet Umut Nayir
Iceland - Hákon Valdimarsson, Alfons Sampsted, Hjörtur Hermannsson, Daníel Leó Grétarsson, Logi Tómasson, Mikael Anderson, Jóhann Berg Guðmundsson, Stefán Teitur Þórðarson, Jón Dagur Þorsteinsson, Gylfi Sigurðsson, Orri Óskarsson
Orri Óskarsson has started the season incredibly well.
The Icelandic striker has 7 goals in 13 games so far this season and although he is yet to score for new club Real Sociedad he has only played 1 game. The goal is certainly coming.
Not only this but he also scored in Iceland’s previous match against Montenegro proving that he can be a danger to opposition defenders.
If anyone is to get on the scoresheet in this game it will most likely be him.
Coming into this game both teams are fairly evenly matched. However with the knowledge of previous fixtures and form we can’t help but feel that Iceland should come away with something at least in this match.
Turkey certainly won’t go down without a fight, especially if they play like they so often did during Euro 2024. This suggests the match could also end in a draw.
That is why our team of professional tipping experts are backing a Draw or Iceland Double Chance in this match. And with odds of 11/8, £10 has the potential to return £23.75 making it our best value pick for this fixture.
This game gets underway on Monday 9th September 2024 at 19:45 pm. And you can check out all of the action live on the Viaplay International YouTube Channel.
