Wales vs Iceland Betting Tips - Wales to Win

A vital contest sees Wales and Iceland meet in Cardiff with everything still to play for in Group 4. 

Placed second and third respectively with nine and seven points, both nations could yet find themselves involved in a promotion or relegation playoff depending on Tuesday´s result. 

A draw will be enough for Wales to secure second spot while they must win and hope Turkey slip up against Montenegro if they are to top the section. For Iceland, only a win will do if they are to avoid a relegation playoff next March.

Wales have shown some steady signs of improvement under recently appointed head coach Craig Bellamy, including Saturday´s hard-fought 0:0 draw in Turkey. The Red Dragons are unbeaten in five games under the rookie boss with two wins and three draws picked up from five Nations League matches.

Iceland make the trip to Cardiff after picking up a 2:0 road win in Montenegro on Saturday. Åge Hareide´s men had picked up just one point from three previous Nations League matches before their vital victory in Niksic. 

Away from home, Iceland are very much an all or nothing kind of side. The visitors won six but lost eight of 14 road games played since the start of 2023. Hareide´s side slipped to a 3:1 defeat in Turkey in September before their weekend win in Montenegro. 

Ultimately, home advantage should prove crucial with an improving Wales keen to secure their place in the promotion playoffs. 

I'm putting my money on Wales claiming the points in Cardiff.
