Poland vs Iceland Betting Tips

Poland came close to qualifying ahead of World champions and rivals Germany in their Euro 2016 qualifying campaign, but ultimately it proved a hurdle too far for them.

Despite this, they will be very happy with their 2^nd place finish in Group D, with the Republic of Ireland and Scotland both ending below them.

It all came down to the final match of the group, with 3^rd placed Republic of Ireland knowing that a win in Poland would see them gain automatic qualification.

Poland triumphed though, finishing three points ahead of them and just a single point of group winners Germany. This makes it just one loss in Poland’s last 14 outings.

Iceland are the surprise package of qualifying though. They managed to secure automatic qualification with a game to spare, and could have topped Group A if they could have continued their excellent campaign on the final day.

They lost 1-0 to Turkey thanks to an 89^th minute winner, a loss which saw them end the group two points adrift of Czech Republic, two points ahead of Turkey, and seven points ahead of the Netherlands.

Iceland have recorded an impressive double of victories against Netherlands, a home win against the Czech Republic, and a win against Turkey during this campaign to qualify for their first major tournament finals in their history.

Despite the impressive qualifying period that both sides enjoyed, they’re not in the best form.

Poland have only won three of their last eight matches, with four draws indicating a lack of winning mentality. Iceland didn’t win any of their last three qualifying matches and have only managed two in their last six games, which ultimately relinquished the top spot to the Czechs.

Iceland have continuously surprised everyone, putting in excellent performances against some top sides. The bookies still don’t like their chances though, so I think a lot of value is to be had by backing an Iceland Win or Draw Double Chance at 5/4 with bet365!
