Iceland host Luxembourg in Reykjavik on Monday evening in a League C Group 4 fixture that could settle who holds the top spot. Iceland sit first with 11 points from five games, while Luxembourg sit bottom with three points. The gap in quality shows in the goal columns, with Iceland scoring 12 times and conceding once.
Perhaps the most interesting detail is how little Luxembourg have threatened in front of goal. They have found the net only twice in five matches, so the visitors face a tough test of their attacking limits.
Andri Guðjohnsen is the main threat for Iceland. He has scored three goals in the latest five matches and takes most of the team’s shots from the front line. Mathias Olesen deserves attention in midfield for Luxembourg. He completed 47 passes in his last appearance, made three interceptions and will try to break up Iceland’s build-up play.
Iceland’s hot stat is their goal output. They have scored 12 goals across five group matches while conceding just one, which gives them the strongest attack and defence combination in the group.

Iceland vs Luxembourg prediction
We predict Iceland to win by two or more goals. Iceland have scored in every group match except one and have kept three clean sheets across the campaign. Luxembourg have lost four of five games and rarely create chances from open play. The bookmakers rate Iceland at 73 percent to win, and our view leans in the same direction with a bigger margin.
Iceland press with intent and make their passing count. Their 511 passes across the latest five matches show a team that controls possession, and their interceptions total of 10 points to a side that wins the ball back quickly. Luxembourg commit more fouls, averaging 14 across the same sample against Iceland’s 12, and they collect more yellow cards with three to Iceland’s two. Luxembourg also complete 579 passes, but that volume rarely turns into dangerous attacks. Iceland’s compact shape should limit the visitors to long spells of sterile possession, which favours a convincing home win.
| 🔥Hot Tip: | Iceland to win by 2 or more goals |
| ⚽Total Goals: | Over 2.5 |
| 💥Both Teams To Score: | No |
| 🎯Total Corners: | Under 8.5 |
Team Analysis
Iceland arrive in strong form after beating Bulgaria 5-0 in their latest outing. In our preview of Bulgaria vs Iceland we called Iceland to take the points away from home, and the 5-0 result delivered it. The margin was wider than the narrow scoreline we expected, but the primary call landed. Iceland won in comfortable fashion and kept their defensive record intact. Their wins this year show a team that closes out games well, even if the overall win rate of 30 percent remains modest.
Luxembourg fell to a 1-0 defeat against Estonia in their most recent match. In our preview of Luxembourg vs Estonia we called Estonia to win in a low-scoring game, and the 0-1 scoreline supports that call. Luxembourg generated little in attack and recorded only eight shots over five matches. Their form has been poor, and we see little reason to expect a sudden change against a well-organised Iceland side.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Iceland the favourite
- Moneyline Iceland 1.25 | Luxembourg 10.00
- Draw 5.54
The best available prices make Iceland a heavy favourite at 1.25. Our view supports that position because Iceland have the stronger attack, the better defence and a clear advantage in the group table. The draw price of 5.54 looks generous given Luxembourg’s scoring problems, but we do not back it. Luxembourg at 10.00 offers no value when their away form has produced one goal in four matches.
Possible Starting Lineups
Iceland possible starting eleven
- GK: Hakon Valdimarsson
- DF: Victor Pálsson, Daniel Leo Gretarsson, Logi Tomasson, Hörður Magnússon
- MF: Hákon Arnar Haraldsson, Ísak Bergmann Jóhannesson, Gylfi Sigurðsson
- FW: Andri Guðjohnsen, Orri Steinn Óskarsson, Arnór Sigurðsson
Iceland line up in their popular 4-2-3-1, with Andri Guðjohnsen as the focal point up front. Hákon Arnar Haraldsson deserves close attention because he combines creative passing with defensive work. Hakon Valdimarsson has played every minute of recent matches, which gives Iceland continuity in goal.
Luxembourg possible starting eleven
- GK: Anthony Moris
- DF: Vahid Selimović, Laurent Jans, Florian Bohnert, Tim Hall
- MF: Mathias Olesen, Tomas Cruz, Vincent Thill, Sebastien Thill
- FW: Hamza Kadamani, Aiman Dardari
Luxembourg should set up in a 4-4-2, which matches their most used shape. Mathias Olesen is the player to watch because he links the midfield and wins possession in key areas. Hamza Kadamani offers the best chance of creating something on the counter, though Iceland’s defenders should contain him. Anthony Moris has the most experience in goal and will need a strong game to limit the damage.

TipsGG Match Prediction
We predict Iceland to win 3-0. Iceland have the superior attack, scoring 12 goals in five matches, and they have already beaten Luxembourg 3-0 in this group. Luxembourg have managed only two goals and have conceded eight, which points to an uneven contest. Perhaps the visitors keep it tight for a half, but we expect Iceland to break through and control the second period.
