-------------------------------
Match Preview:
Iceland were outstanding in their section opener against Azerbaijan on September 5, recording a 5-0 victory, and they also put in a strong performance in their second game against France four days later.

Andri Gudjohnsen struck to give Arnar Gunnlaugsson's side a shock lead against the two-time World Cup winners, but the Blues managed to turn it around to record a 2-1 victory and remain perfect in Group D.

Iceland will be aware of the importance of this match, as they bid to claim a top-two spot in the section, and a victory would lead them nicely into a huge home game with France on October 13.

Our Boys famously qualified for the finals of the 2018 World Cup, while they also made the quarter-finals of Euro 2016 during an impressive period, but the national side have failed to qualify for the last three major tournaments.

Ukraine have posted two wins in their five previous games against Iceland, including a 2-1 success when the two teams met in a Euro 2024 playoff in March 2024, which secured their spot in the finals.

The Blue and Yellows have not actually qualified for the finals of a World Cup since famously reaching the quarter-finals of the 2006 competition, but they have been present at the last four European Championships.

Ukraine opened their 2026 World Cup qualification campaign with a 2-0 defeat to France on September 5 before playing out a 1-1 draw with Azerbaijan four days later.

Match Prediction:
Iceland's performance against France last time out was excellent, and the hosts should therefore be full of confidence heading into this match - we fancy Ukraine to score, but Iceland should have enough to put a very important three points on the board.
