Iceland take on the visitors Israel in the round 4 match in League B of Nations League. The match will be played on Monday, June 13th at Laugardalsvöllur (Reykjavík).
Iceland is finally trying to push off the bottom. The Icemen are still remembered to have been one of the major discoveries of the last decade in European football. A team representing a country with a population at the level of an average regional center has become a quarter-finalist of the Euro! But then the positions were gradually given up, although they also managed to make their debut at the World Championships. Regression also manifested itself in the Nations League, in the form of relegation from Division A. At a lower level, on June 2, Vidarsson's men started with an away draw just against Israel as they allowed the opponents to equalize in the 84th minute . But this was followed by a draw with Albania at home, 1-1. Then they warmed up with San Marino, unexpectedly limiting themselves with this underdog to only 1-0.

Israel is forced to act with a non-optimal composition. Eran Zahavi is injured now, and not only him, there are enough losses in general. Hence, the team has not the best start in this League of Nations. At first, the Israelis almost lost at home to Iceland - Weisman saved the day in the 84th minute, sealing 2-2 draw. After that, it was possible to rest until June 10 - Russia is disqualified, and they had to play in this group. Perhaps this helped: after losing the 1st half in Albania, it turned out to be a strong-willed victory at the expense of the Shakhtar’s ace Solomon.
Until 2-2 in the reverse fixture of this League of Nations, the teams played only once, in a friendly match in 2012. Then Israel won in a bright duel with a score of 3-2. Iceland is trying to win against anyone when play at home, but Israel is also good now. We bet on neutral "over 2.0 goals".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 scored goals.
