Iceland take on the visitors Albania in the round 2 match of League B in UEFA Nations League. The match will be played on Monday, June 6th at Laugardalsvöllur (Reykjavík).
Iceland is trying to renew its status as a fairly strong team. The Icemen made many neutral football fans fall in love with them in 2016. Then a team from a remote northern island with a record small population was able not only to leave the group, but also to reach the quarterfinals. The debut at the World Championships after 2 years turned out to be much more modest. And then there was a further regression, and one can only hope that the penultimate place in the 2021 qualifying year has become a kind of bottom, from which they want to break away and start adding. Even earlier, the Icelanders were relegated from Division A of the League of Nations. In the new draw, the team started on Thursday, in Israel, the team achieved a good result - a 2-2 draw. On the other hand, scoring first, the hosts conceded twice, and leveled the score only in the end.

Albania leaves a rather controversial impression. The Eagles for most of their history had the status of an outsider rather than an average. But gradually it turned out to add, and the peak of the team was the qualification to Euro 2016. There, the debutant showed himself far from being as great as the Icelanders, although they did not go home without a victory. It was not possible to repeat this result even close, although now the Albanians are already considered as a rather difficult, "prickly" opponent. And, for example, last year in qualifying it was possible to gain 18 points - only 2 less than Poland. In addition, in the last draw of the Nations League, they managed to win a group and move up from Division C. And right now, in Reykjavik, the Red-Blacks will make their debut at this level.
The sides often played among themselves, and show more or less equal results. In 2019, as part of the qualification for the European Championship, Iceland and Albania exchanged home victories. Experts consider Iceland the favorite of the pair. But, in any case, it is unlikely that there will be many goals - we are waiting for " under 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
