Here are the predicted lineups for Iceland vs Luxembourg, a UEFA Nations League meeting on Monday 16 November 2026. The two sides look set for very different levels of rotation, and both projections below are built from a single recent line-up, so treat them as tentative.
Iceland Predicted XI
Arnar Gunnlaugsson’s preferred shape is a 4-2-3-1, and that is the formation used for Iceland’s projection. The side is judged settled on the evidence available, with 10 of the projected XI starting their last match. Hakon Valdimarsson is the goalkeeper in the projection, and Gylfi Sigurðsson stands out as the one projected starter who did not begin the most recent match. Because only one line-up is available, these counts reflect that single game rather than a longer run.
Iceland predicted XI: Hakon Valdimarsson; Logi Tomasson, Daniel Leo Gretarsson, Victor Pálsson, Stefán Teitur Thórdarson; Hákon Arnar Haraldsson, Ísak Bergmann Jóhannesson, Kristall Mani Ingason, Mikael Ellertsson, Gylfi Sigurðsson; Orri Steinn Óskarsson

Predicted Luxembourg Line-up
Luxembourg’s projection uses Jeff Strasser’s preferred 4-1-4-1. This is the most settled of the two sides on the evidence available, with all 11 projected players starting their last match. Anthony Moris is the projected goalkeeper, and Aiman Dardari leads the line as the lone forward. The unit is built from a single recent line-up, so the depth of this picture is limited.
Luxembourg predicted XI: Anthony Moris; Florian Bohnert, Vahid Selimović, Laurent Jans, Tim Hall; Tomas Cruz, Vincent Thill, Mathias Olesen, Hamza Kadamani, Sebastien Thill; Aiman Dardari

Injuries and Suspensions
For Iceland, no one is currently out injured or unavailable through suspension, so the projected XI is not reduced by team news. Andri Guðjohnsen is the bench option best placed to come in, having been the only substitute with a start in the matches used here.
Luxembourg also have no absentees listed, meaning no one is out injured or unavailable through suspension. Among the bench, Tiago Pereira Cardoso is the first name listed, though none of the substitutes has a start in the single line-up used.
How These Line-ups Were Picked
Each projection is based on the most recent line-up available for that side, which is one match for both Iceland and Luxembourg. Players confirmed injured or suspended were removed from the selection. This is a projection that can change when the official team is announced, and the thin sample means it should be read with caution.
