Ukraine vs Iceland Prediction and Betting Tips | March 26, 2024

Ukraine entertain Iceland at the Tarczyński Arena in Wroclaw, Poland, in UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying on Tuesday.

Ukraine narrowly missed a direct qualification in the group stage, as they finished third, level on 14 points with second-placed Italy. The Azzurri snatched Group C’s second ticket based on superior head-to-head points (4-1). Ukraine, though, advanced to the playoffs, beating Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-1 in Path B semi-finals.

The Blue and Yellow are eying a fourth back-to-back participation in the UEFA European Championship since 2012. Ukraine are on a fine run of form and will hope to stretch their unbeaten streak to six games when they take on Iceland. The two sides last met in September 2017, with Iceland prevailing 2-0 at home.

Iceland handed Israel a 4-1 drubbing in Path B semifinals to set up a meeting with Ukraine in the final. The eventual winner will qualify for the Euro 2024 finals. Iceland are hoping to return to the competition following a fairy-tale debut in 2016, which ended in the quarterfinals. They head into the clash off three straight wins.

Iceland will take confidence from their away success over Israel. Ukraine will not have dearth of supporters in Wroclaw, but Iceland will fancy their chances, boasting three wins in five trips across competitions.
