Iceland take on t Estonia in a friendly international match. The match will be played on Sunday, January 8th at Estadio da Nora (Albufeira).
On Portuguese soil, Estonians and Icelanders decided to play a friendly match in the middle of winter. And the bookmakers in this battle give a serious advantage to the Icelanders, although the recent results are clearly better for the Estonian team. It is difficult to say how optimal the composition will be in this meeting, and for sure this will be more a test of the nearest reserve for both the Estonians and the Icelanders themselves. The Estonian national team had a relatively good 2022, played 10 matches at various levels, and stumbled only in 3 cases, and one defeat by the way from the current world champions, the Argentines burned out in a friendly match 0:5. As for the matches with simpler opponents, everything was quite good for the Baltic team. The Icelanders have long lost their former power that they had a few years ago, and now this is far from even the middle peasants of European football. Here, in fact, Estonians should not get lost especially against their background.

Iceland wins less and less, a lot of draws have been slipped by the northerners lately, but they do not lead to more or less sensible success in the end. Now the Icelanders are already somehow difficult to take seriously, they failed in the last couple of qualifications for top tournaments, they perform extremely modestly in the Nations League, and in friendly games they don't really show too much extravaganza. In October 2021, the Icelanders last beat someone by more than one goal and that was Liechtenstein 0-4. Now, as it were, there is no faith even in the fact that the northerners are able to confidently beat Estonia, which is far from the most formidable, because last year, even with San Marino, the Icelanders played only at a score of 1:0.
This duel can obviously be considered as a match of equal opportunities, and it is extremely difficult to put someone as a favorite here. But, the bookmakers decided to still give the advantage to the Icelanders, and because of this, a positive handicap for the Estonians.
Prediction for the match: Estonia to win with +1.0 handicap.
