Iceland Team News

In the last competitive match, Iceland defeated Bosnia and Herzegovina at home 1:0. Although statistically they were a weaker rival in this match, they managed to win in stoppage time with a goal by Alfredo Finnbogason.

They currently occupy only the fifth position in the table with six points, four less than their next rival, Luxembourg. In the previous part of the competition, they registered two wins and four losses.

Iceland will again have Alfred Finnbogason at the top of their attack, with the 34-year-old scoring his 17th goal for the national team in the narrow win over Bosnia and Herzegovina last time out. Victor Palsson will continue to play in defense for Iceland, while Iceland’s need for three points means there will likely be opportunities for Jon Dagur Thorsteinsson and Hakon Arn Haraldsson in the attack.

Burnley’s Johann Berg Gudmundsson is a significant absentee through injury, but captain Aron Gunnarsson is in the squad and should start on Friday.

Luxembourg Team News

In the previous round, Luxembourg was outclassed by Portugal away from home with as much as 9:0. The visiting team showed a terrible performance in this match, and out of 10 shots on goal, they conceded as many as nine goals. Also, according to all statistical parameters, they were a weaker rival in this duel, and they were deservedly defeated.

In the group stage of qualification for EURO 2024, they recorded three wins, one draw, and two defeats. They currently occupy the third position in the table with ten points won, three less than the second-placed Slovakia and the place that leads to the next stage.

Luxembourg coach Luc Holtz is likely to resist the temptation to change his squad despite losing to Portugal last time out. Most of the players involved in the heavy defeat have served him well in the group so far, so the squad is expected to be very similar for Friday’s game.

There are players capable of scoring goals in the squad, with Gerson Rodrigues scoring 16 goals for his country, while Danel Sinani has 12, with the latter also expected to play in midfield again for Luxembourg.
