In the European World Cup qualifiers, Ukraine will host Iceland on November 16, 2025 ⚽️. The visitors only need a draw to stay in second place, making this an intriguing matchup.
Our Prediction for Ukraine vs Iceland
Ukraine kicked off the year with a 3-1 win over Belgium in the Nations League play-out. However, the return leg ended in a heavy defeat, keeping them in League B.
September was disappointing as well, with a loss to France and a draw with Azerbaijan. But last month, after two consecutive wins, the team got back into contention for a World Cup spot 🟢.
Iceland, since debuting at the Euros and World Cup, have struggled to qualify for major tournaments. Last year, Ukraine prevented them from reaching the Euros, including a 5-3 defeat in Reykjavik last October.
Still, Iceland showed resilience, taking points from France at home and avoiding setbacks against Azerbaijan in their opening game.
In the previous match, Rebrov fielded an experimental lineup in France. Ukraine held out for more than half the game but ultimately lost 0-4. Their rival in Baku scored twice before halftime and now just need to avoid defeat to secure second place.
