Prediction: Estonia vs Iceland

Two camps who find themselves scrapping it out at the top of the League C standings, Estonia will host Iceland on Tuesday night.

While September’s extended international break might draw to a close in midweek, there are plenty of attractive betting promotions available.

Starting with the hosts, while Estonia might have signed off 2025 in the midst of yet another extended rut, Jurgen Henn’s men have enjoyed a rugged start to their Nations League campaign. Last seen over the weekend snatching a 1-0 victory at home against Luxembourg, the Blues are unbeaten in all of their first three League C showdowns and the mood in their camp should be at a high. Knowing that they can leapfrog Iceland and skyrocket themselves into pole position on Tuesday night, Estonia have also suffered just a sole defeat from any of their previous eight matchups across all competitions – a run that stems back over the past 11 months. It should also be highlighted, Henn’s promotion contenders have shipped just a sole strike in almost 500 minutes of action.

Arguably the most notable name in Estonia’s squad this month, Bochum defender Karol Mets will lead Henn’s side out on Tuesday night and earn a 108th-cap. Now in his second campaign with Scottish outfit Kilmarnock, Michael Schjonning-Larsen will feature here.

Now playing his domestic football with Slovakian-based club Tencin, former Shamrock Rovers man Markus Poom will start in the middle of the park and be partnered alongside one-time Fulham youngster Matias Kait.

As for the visitors, although Iceland might have opened their respective Nations League adventure at the heart of a public crisis, Arnar Gunnlaugsson’s men have come roaring back in some style. Last seem over the weekend cruising their way to a dominant 3-0 victory at home against Bulgaria, Tuesday’s guests are sat in the driving seat to punch an immediate League B return. Likewise, signing off September with another 3-0 win against Luxembourg, Iceland have registered seven points from their opening three Nations League showdowns. Enjoying what has become their most fruitful spell in recent memory, Gunnlaugsson’s men have also recorded back-to-back clean sheets for the first time since way back in January 2024.

Given what is a speedy Nations League turnaround in midweek, Blackburn Rovers attacker Andri Gudjohnsen could be handed an immediate full recall. Despite making just a trio of Premier League appearances since arriving at Brentford back in 2024, shot-stopper Hakon Rafn Valdimarsson will start between the sticks.

Bagging a Nations League brace against Bulgaria over the weekend, Real Sociedad starlet Orri Oskarsson will lead the line on Tuesday night. Now in his fourth campaign with French giants Lille, 23-year-old Hakon Arnar Haraldsson will partner Oskarsson in the final third.

Estonia vs Iceland Key Factors to Consider

  • When Estonia and Iceland met for their reverse Nations League showdown in Reykjavik last week, Tuesday’s opponents played out a 1-1 stalemate.
  • Iceland have registered seven points from their opening three Nations League matchups.
  • Tuesday’s guests have recorded back-to-back clean sheets for the first time since way back in January 2024.
  • Estonia have shipped just a sole strike in almost 500 minutes of action across all competitions.
  • All of the last six straight meetings between Estonia and Iceland have finished with under 2.5 goals.

Two camps who are yet to suffer a single defeat since opening their respective Nations League campaigns, don’t be surprised to see a potential chess match on Tuesday night. With Estonia remarkably shipping just a sole strike in almost 500 minutes of action across all competitions, Iceland have also registered consecutive clean sheets for the first time in over two years. Likewise, all of the previous six straight meetings between Tuesday’s opponents have finished with under 2.5 goals. On a similar note, the midweek hosts have seen all of their seven matchups so far this calendar year finish in an identical result.
