Our Prediction for the Match Wales vs Iceland
The Dragons immediately felt the absence of Bale. Without the player who could "make the difference," they failed to qualify through the "traditional" route last year. In the spring, after a 4-1 win over Finland, they lost at home to Poland in the decisive round—Szczęsny secured victory for the Poles in a penalty shootout following a 0-0 draw in Cardiff. The Ice Warriors also ended their journey then, progressing confidently past Israel before opening the scoring against Ukraine, only to collapse to a 1-2 defeat.
The Icelanders started their Nations League campaign with a convincing 2-0 win over Montenegro. However, against stronger opponents, they managed only a 2-2 draw with Wales and suffered two losses to Turkey. On Friday, they faced the group's underdog on the road and clinched a 2-0 victory with late goals.
The Welsh entrusted their fortunes to Bellamy. The legendary former forward extracted the maximum six points from matches against Montenegro. Against stronger opposition in September and October, they managed draws. In their most recent match in Turkey, they secured a 0-0 result, with the Turks missing a penalty in the 89th minute.
