Iceland vs Luxembourg closes the Group D programme in the UEFA Nations League on 16 November 2026, with Iceland top of the group table on 11 points from five matches and Luxembourg fourth on 3. The hosts also won the reverse fixture 3-0 in Luxembourg in September, so the visitors arrive with recent history to overturn as well as a poor run of results.
Head-to-Head Record
Four recorded meetings have produced a remarkably even head-to-head: one win apiece and two draws, with Iceland ahead 6-5 on aggregate goals – an average of 2.75 total goals per meeting. Iceland won the most recent encounter 3-0 in Luxembourg on 29 September 2026, in this season’s Nations League. Luxembourg’s win came at home in European Championship qualification in September 2023, and the two draws were a 1-1 in Iceland a month later and a 1-1 friendly back in November 2009.

Iceland: Recent Form
Iceland’s last six read W-D-W-W-D-L, worth 1.83 points per game. Their most recent outing was a 5-0 win away to Bulgaria on 13 November, three days before this fixture, and the only defeat in the window came in a June friendly against Argentina. The other four matches were all UEFA Nations League fixtures and brought two wins and two draws; across the six, Iceland have scored 12 and conceded 4, keeping 4 clean sheets and failing to score twice. One of the six was that friendly, so the run should not be read as entirely competitive. In the group itself, Iceland are unbeaten – three wins and two draws from five, 11 points and a +11 goal difference.

Luxembourg: Recent Form
Luxembourg’s last six read L-L-L-L-W-W, at 1.00 points per game. Their four most recent matches are all defeats without a goal scored, including a 0-1 home loss to Estonia on 13 November; both of their wins in the window came earlier, one in the Nations League and one in a June friendly. Across the six, Luxembourg have scored 3 and conceded 8, kept 1 clean sheet and failed to score 4 times. One of the six was a friendly, so the sequence is not entirely competitive. In Group D they have one win from five, 3 points and a -6 goal difference, leaving them fourth and bottom.
