Wales will be looking to preserve their unbeaten start to their UEFA Nations League campaign when they travel to Reykjavik to face Iceland on Friday night.
Iceland:
Iceland enters Friday's UEFA Nations League match with a mixed start to their 2024-25 campaign. Age Hareide's side began with a solid 2-0 victory over Montenegro at home but faltered in their next game, losing 3-1 away to Turkey. This inconsistency has marked much of 2024 for Iceland, who have alternated between wins and losses over their last six games, netting eight goals and conceding ten. Ranked 71st by FIFA, Iceland hopes to finish top of League B to secure promotion to League A, though their previous stint saw them suffer ten losses in ten matches. Historically, Iceland has struggled against Wales, winning only once in their last six meetings, and they'll need a strong performance on Friday to change that trend.
Wales:
Wales, under new manager Craig Bellamy, have made an unbeaten start to their Nations League campaign, currently sitting second in Group 4 with four points. Following a goalless draw with Turkey in their opener, the Dragons secured a 2-1 win against Montenegro, thanks to early goals from Kieffer Moore and Harry Wilson. This win not only broke a four-game winless streak for Wales but also marked a rare road victory, as they’ve struggled on the road in recent matches. Ranked 29th by FIFA, Wales can claim the top spot in Group B if they manage their first away win against Iceland since 1980, combined with a favorable result for Montenegro against Turkey.
