Iceland Team News

In the last round of qualification for the EURO, Iceland outclassed Liechtenstein away from home by as much as 0:7. They were a much better opponent in this duel and deservedly celebrated. Aron Gunnarsson entered the list of scorers three times, and three assists were recorded by Jon Dagur Thorsteinsson. David Kristjan Olafsson, Hakon Arnar Haraldsson, Andri Gudjohnsen, and Mikael Egill Ellertsson each hit the home team’s net once.

Three days before that match, Iceland played Bosnia and Herzegovina away, but they were defeated 3:0. They conceded all three goals until the 63rd minute, after which they failed to return to the duel. They currently occupy the fourth position in the table with 3 points won, three less than first-placed Portugal.

Captain Aron Gunnarsson is expected to lead Iceland’s defense again, while Johann Berg Gudmundsson should once again be in the starting line-up. It is assumed that the same starting 11 as in the previous match will run on the field in the next match as well, but we will have to see.

Slovakia Team News

In the last competitive match, Slovakia beat Bosnia and Herzegovina at home with 2:0. The home team scored both goals in the first half. They took the lead in the 13th minute when Stanislav Lobotka played past Robert Mak, and he put the ball into the net. Lukas Haraslin doubled Slovakia’s advantage in the 40th minute, and the score remained unchanged until the end of the game.

In the first round, Slovakia played against Luxembourg at home, and the result was 0:0. They currently occupy the second position in the table with four points, one more than their next rival, Iceland.

Martin Dubravka, Peter Pekarik, Ondrej Duda, and Robert Mak should play in the starting line-up of the visiting team, while captain Juraj Kucka will probably be in the midfield.
