Turkey vs Iceland Prediction - UEFA Nations League Picks 9/9/24

-A summary that ties it all together and produces a favorable betting outcome for today’s game between Turkey and Iceland.

Turkey Betting Preview

Turkey faced off against Wales on Friday, and they didn’t play that well, at least with the offense. Turkey had trouble keeping possession, and they shot 33 percent of the possession and one shot on target. Barls Alper Yalmaz picked up a red card in the 62nd minute, and that was one of the big issues. It might be a big loss but Turkey also a good replacement for him. Adra Guler played during the Euro’s and he’s going to move back into the starting lineup here. Even though they didn’t have many offensive chances, I wouldn’t expect to see many more changes to the lineup for this game. 

Iceland Betting Preview

Iceland faced off against Montenegro on Friday in the first game of the Nations League and they were able to secure the 2-0 victory. Orri Okarsson scored in the 39th minute and Jon Dugar Porsteinsson scored in the 58th minute on the way to the victory. Iceland had 41 percent of the possession and five shots on target. Iceland looked so impressive in the the game and that could mean the team isn’t going to make any changes to the lineup in this game. In this game Iceland’s defense is going to need to step up and really try to put the pressure on Turkey. 

Turkey vs Iceland Prediction

Iceland was so impressive in the first game with the offense, and they have all kinds of confidence heading into this game. This is a much tougher matchup, but Iceland is going to find similar results here. Iceland will get the first goal in the first half, and their defense is going to step up in a big way again. Turkey will have no answer, and Iceland will get the job done. Back Iceland on the money line.
