Nations League Prediction
Author of a successful Euro with an elimination in the quarter-finals against the Netherlands (0-2), Turkey maintained its good momentum by going to get its first point in this Nations League at the Cardiff City Stadium against Wales (0-0) this Friday evening despite the expulsion shortly after the hour mark of its striker Baris Alper Yilmaz (62nd). At home, Turkey remains on 1 win against Wales (2-0) and 1 draw against Armenia (1-1) during the Qualifications of the last Euro.
Iceland won against Montenegro (2-0) this Friday evening thanks to goals from Oskarsson and Thorsteinsson and took first place in this group 4. However, this Icelandic selection has lost 2 of its last 4 outings against Ukraine (1-2) and in Rotterdam against the Netherlands (4-0) in a friendly. Defeated in this last year of competition in Luxembourg (3-1), Slovakia (4-2) and Portugal (2-0), Iceland could suffer the same fate at Gursel Aksel Stadyumu.
