England vs Iceland Soccer Betting Tips
More than a meeting before knowing the identity of the nations which will participate in Final 4 of this second League of Nations! After 5 days, only the French team is guaranteed to play the semi-finals, and the stake remains in all the other pools. But not in this England-Iceland! Wednesday the Three Lions will indeed welcome the Icelanders to Wembley on behalf of the 6th day of this Nations League, but this meeting will not present any sporting issue.
Indeed, in group 2, a stronghold of England and Iceland, the final will take place near Louvain between Belgium, first with 12 points, and Denmark, second with 10 points. For their part, the men of Gareth Southgate have somewhat passed through this LDN, at least in accounting terms. With only 7 units on the clock, the English were indeed able to beat Belgium only once, even if they deserved better last weekend (0-2 defeat), dominating most of the meeting with an excellent Harry Kane. But where the British especially lost their chance to compete for first place, it was during their double confrontation against the Danes, during which they took only 1 point out of 6 possible. England cannot do better, or worse, than this 3rd place, just like Iceland, a red lantern with 0 points and guaranteed to evolve in League B during the next edition …

England vs Iceland Soccer Betting Tips
England and Iceland have nothing more to play in this last match. However, the English are used to appearing well against opponents within their reach, especially at home. Some players who knock on the door of the starting XI will want to show themselves, especially Calvert-Lewin, and faced with demobilized Icelanders, the addition could be heavy. Over 2.5 goals with, why not, an Iceland that slackens a bit and could also score!
