On Tuesday night, Iceland host Belgium in the UEFA Nations League, as both teams look for their first victory in the newly established competition.
Iceland opened their UEFA Nations League campaign with a 6-0 hammering at Switzerland on Saturday night. The defeat was the Nordic nation’s third consecutive loss in the international game.
The defeat also means that the home side has failed to win in their last ten official games, although they did record two victories in unofficial friendlies against Indonesia in January.
Iceland’s biggest problem of late had been keeping out opposition teams, as they have now conceded at least two goals in seven of their last eight international outings.
Iceland have also struggled on home soil of late, losing three of their last four games on their own patch. Once again, the home sides biggest issue of late in home games has been conceding goals, as the Nordic team have conceded at least two goals in their last four outings.
Belgium heads into this game on the back of a 4-0 win in Scotland in a friendly game. The victory was yet another win for Roberto Martinez’s side, who have now won nine of their last ten international games.
The Red Devils only blip was a 1-0 semi-final defeat by France in the World Cup. They followed that defeat by beating England 2-0 in the third-place game in Russia.
The visitors have been highly prolific in recent international games, scoring at least two goals in four of their last five outings.
Martinez’s team are unbeaten in nine games on their travels, having recorded seven wins in the process. The visitors have scored at least two goals in their last five away games.
Forebet predicts that Belgium will record another victory in a high scoring game to add to the home side’s recent woes.
