Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the 2024 UEFA Euro qualifying play-offs match.
Israel
Israel won only 1 out of the last 4 qualifying games. Now they are to face Iceland that have missed the last big tournaments. Israel struggled well against Romania and Switzerland in the first part of the qualifying campaign. Israel had 15 points in their 10 games (11:11). Their main star is Solomon. The winger of Tottenham got a serious knee injury in October and he will miss this match, though.
Iceland
Iceland were bright in 2016 and 2018. But there’s almost nothing left of it now. Generations have been changing. Haraldsson, a player of Lille, can be considered one of the main stars. The 20-years old player joined Lille in Summer. He scored 3 goals in the qualifying tournament. Iceland scored 11 out of their 17 goals in the games versus Liechtenstein.
Israel – Iceland prediction
These sides won’t score many goals. They focus on what their opponents do, making just a few attempts to score per game.
