Turkey vs Iceland Predictions

• Both teams have scored in five of Turkey’s last seven games.
• Iceland have scored in six of their last seven games.
• Turkey have won six of their last nine home games (D2, L1).

Home comforts for Turkey

Turkey were given a stern test in a goalless draw with Wales in their Nations League opener ahead of the visit of Iceland on Monday.

The visitors made a positive start to their own League B bid by downing Montenegro 2-0 at home, but this game in Izmir looks a far trickier assignment.

The Crescent Stars have won six of their last nine home games, losing just once, and are worthy favourites against a side who have two defeats in their last three trips.

However, Iceland are capable of pulling off the odd upset – as they showed when winning at eventual runners-up England prior to Euro 2024 – so the short price on a Turkey win offers little appeal.

Instead, taking a chance on both teams to score seems a solid approach as both sides are capable of find a way through.

There have been goals at both ends in five of Turkey’s last seven games and they have managed just one clean sheet during that run, while they have scored themselves in 12 of their last 13 games on Turkish soil.

Iceland have scored in six of their last seven games and should come into this clash in confident mood after downing Montenegro last time out, but a goal may be as good as it gets for the visitors.

Turkey have scored at least twice in seven of their last nine home fixtures and can pick up maximum points here with a 2-1 win.
