Iceland vs Slovakia: Head to head statistics

[STATISTICS]

[RECOMMENDED_BETS]

Iceland vs Slovakia match preview

While Portugal are widely expected to top Group J, the race for second place is wide open, with two of the leading candidates set to meet in Reykjavík.

Iceland made their major tournament debut in 2016 before also qualifying for the 2018 World Cup, before heartbreakingly missing out on Euro 2020 in the play-offs.

Since that last-gasp defeat in Budapest, it’s been pretty much downhill for Strákarnir okkar, who won only three of 22 competitive matches in three years between 2020 and 2022.

This year began in similar fashion for Arnar Viðarsson’s team, smashed 3-0 in Bosnia before a morale-boosting 7-0 demolition of the group’s whipping boys Liechtenstein.

Aron Gunnarsson, who’d scored only twice in 100 caps beforehand, bagging a hat-trick in Vaduz, while Davíð Kristján Ólafsson, Hákon Arnar Haraldsson, Andri Guðjohnsen and Mikael Egill Ellertsson were also on target.

Since then though, Viðarsson has been sacked by the KSÍ, with Åge Hareide taking over; a massive coup.

This could be bad news for Slovakia, who made a mixed start to their campaign earlier this year.

Francesco Calzona’s team were held to a goalless draw by Luxembourg in Trnava on matchday one, but then beat Bosnia 2-0 in Bratislava three days later; Róbert Mak and Lukáš Haraslín the scorers.

The Falcons went through three managers in three months last year, as they endured a miserable Nations League campaign, embarrassingly losing to Kazakhstan twice and Azerbaijan at home.

Nevertheless, in a wide-open group, they fancy their chances of reaching a third successive Euros.

What’s clear is that Bosnia, Slovakia and Iceland are all going to take points off each-other, making the head-to-head encounters between the two vitally important.

So, can Iceland make home advantage count at Laugardalsvöllur?

Iceland team news

Rúnar Alex Rúnarsson, who’s still on Arsenal’s books, will continue in goal while Jóhann Berg Guðmundsson, who will be back in the Premier League with Burnley next season, remains a key player.

As does captain Aron Gunnarsson, despite the fact he’s now 34 and playing in Qatar.

Birkir Bjarnason will be hoping to make his 114th international appearance, extending his record.

Slovakia team news

Talismanic centre-back Milan Škriniar won’t feature due to injury, which is a massive blow.

Without him, Juraj Kucka will captain the side, three appearances away from becoming the fifth Slovakian man to win 100 caps.

In goal, they have to choose between two back-ups from the Premier League, namely Martin Dúbravka or Marek Rodák.
