Belgium vs Iceland PREVIEW & PREDICTION 08/09/2020

On Tuesday, starting with 19:45, the Belgium – Iceland match will be played, within the second round of group 2, League A, from the League of Nations.

Belgium had a “launched start” in the League of Nations. It won 2-0 in Denmark through goals scored by Denayer and Mertens. Moreover, the “yellow-blacks” authoritatively dominated the entire game, only the evolution of Kasper Schmeichel making the score out of proportion. In other words, in a group that is also part of England, the Belgians are obliged to get all the points at stake in the matches of the Nordic teams. In this sense, we expect Roberto Martinez’s students to do everything they can to get all the points at stake this time as well.

On the other hand, Romania’s future opponent comes after the failure on its own ground with England. The British scored the 1-0 goal in extra time from the penalty spot. We also note that the Icelanders missed, in turn, in the 90 + 4 minute a shot from the lime point. Despite the more than decent evolution since September 5, it is hard to believe that Iceland will be able to cope with the “forcing” of the Belgians, the latter being considered by specialists as one of the most national offensives in the world. We choose to take into account all aspects of the confrontation and turn our attention to predictions based primarily on the number of goals, but also on the evolution of the hosts.

-Belgia comes after 11 consecutive victories;
-The last defeat of the Belgians dates from November 2018, 2-5 with Switzerland;
-In 2018, Belgium defeated Iceland twice (2-0 at home and 3-0 away).


PREDICTION: Over 2,5 goals @ 1,63
