Iceland News and Form

Iceland nearly pulled off a shock win out in France in a friendly in midweek. They somehow found themselves 2-0 up against a labouring Les Bleus with half an hour left on the clock. It wasn’t to be for them though as they conceded two goals in the final five minutes of the game for a draw. Still, not many punters would have backed them to have gotten even that out of the game. Iceland have suffered a 6-0 loss against Switzerland and a 3-0 loss against Belgium so far in the Nations League. Both teams not to score may be the way to go here for iceland v Switzerland betting* (betting odds taken on October 12th, 2018 at 3:17 pm).

So relegation from their Nations League group looks a strong probability and they have failed to score in three of their last five games now. That brace against France really was out of the blue. Defensively they are conceding a lot and have been doing so for a while. The last clean sheet they earned was in a 2-0 win over Kosovo in their final World Cup 2018 group stage qualification match. That’s a thirteen without a clean sheet and they have conceded at least two goals in nine of their last eleven. A Switzerland 2-0 correct score is at 15/2 odds* (betting odds taken on October 12th, 2018 at 3:17 pm).

Switzerland News and Form

Switzerland romped to that big 6-0 win over Iceland in their opening Nations League group. They couldn’t quite follow up on the at as they were denied a point in a 2-1 loss against Belgium over the weekend. So they need to keep their hopes of promotion alive with three points in this one before meeting Belgium in their final group stage match later in the year. A narrow loss against Belgium is no shame at all of course but the Swiss have now lost their last two games by a one-goal margin and three of their last four (W1).

That little dip in form has gone against the grain as they were in good shape. Switzerland had lost just one of their previous thirteen games (competitive and friendly) so we’re shaping up well. Still, even with that dip, they were competitive against Belgium and are favourites here. The game to go under 2.5 goals is at 10/11 odds* (betting odds taken on October 12th, 2018 at 3:17 pm). The Swiss just basically need to do whatever they can to win this. They may have only one clean sheet in their last seven games, but that was against Iceland. They are W3 D1 L2 in their last six away from home (not counting the World Cup 2018).

Iceland v Switzerland Head to Head

It was a big 6-0 win that Switzerland achieved over Iceland when they met in the first Nations League meeting back in September. Their only two previous meetings before that were during 2014 World Cup qualifying. Switzerland took a 2-0 away win before a thrilling 4-4 draw between them in the second fixture.
