Belgium vs Iceland Predictions

• Belgium have won to nil in eight of their last 11 competitive games.
• Belgium haven’t failed to score in a match since their World Cup semi-final in 2018.
• Iceland have averaged just 0.85 goals per game over their last seven outings.

Belgium to break Iceland’s defence

An early Jason Denayer goal made life comfortable for Belgium on Saturday as they opened their UEFA Nations League campaign with a 2-0 victory over Denmark, and more of the same is expected on Tuesday.

They come up against an Iceland side that held firm for 90 minutes against England only to concede a late penalty, go behind and then almost instantly miss a penalty of their own.

Things are unlikely to be any easier for them when they visit Belgium. Iceland were on the back foot for the vast majority of the game and, while they were impressively organised at the back, you get the sense that this Belgium team will be able to find a way through.

Belgium, who sit at the top of the FIFA world rankings, have won their last 11 games on the spin and haven’t failed to score since their 1-0 defeat to France in the 2018 World Cup semi-finals. Not only that, but they have kept a clean sheet in eight of their last 11 victories and face an Iceland outfit who were very cautious in venturing forward against England.

For these reasons, backing Belgium win to nil looks good value and, with Iceland focusing so much on remaining defensively rigid, we’re opting for back-to-back 2-0 victories for our correct score prediction.
