Football Livescore | Match Prediction & Tips
-----------------------------------
Ukraine head into their decisive qualifier against Iceland determined to keep their World Cup hopes alive. They are looking to recover after a tough loss to one of Europe’s top sides. Iceland arrive with confidence, having secured a valuable away win in their previous match.
Team Analysis:
Ukraine’s unbeaten run ended against a dominant France, leaving them third in Group D and needing a final-day win to reach the playoffs. They hope to replicate their high-scoring victory over Iceland from October, but their opponents arrive in strong form after earning key results against France and Azerbaijan. With Iceland boasting one of the group’s best attacks, Ukraine face a daunting challenge in their must-win clash.
Player Situation:
Ukraine struggled in attack without the injured Artem Dovbyk and may consider changes after their defeat in Paris, though key players like Zabarnyi and Yarmoliuk should keep their places. Iceland, fresh off a clean sheet in Azerbaijan, are expected to maintain their strong defensive pairing. With Haraldsson now playing deeper and Gudmundsson in top form, the visitors arrive with a balanced and confident setup.
Result Prediction:
Ukraine enter the match knowing that only a win will keep their World Cup hopes alive. Iceland, needing just a draw, are expected to adopt a more defensive approach. With everything on the line, both sides face contrasting pressures in this decisive qualifier.
Predicted Result: Ukraine 1-1 Iceland.
