Netherlands vs Iceland prediction

As part of preparations for the 2024 Euros, the Netherlands will take on Iceland for the first time since 2015 in an International Friendly match. The Flying Dutchmen have already done the hard work in securing their place in Europe’s biggest National tournament regardless of the competition from France and Greece during qualifications. Now, it is time for them to set their course for the main event, and this matchup would rightly set them in motion and dust off any rustiness in the team.

Iceland on the other hand, failed to pick the Euros ticket at the second and final time of asking after losing to Ukraine in the final round of qualification playoffs. So rather than being in action later this month their journey as a Nation ends with the responsibility of helping the likes of their opponents get ready for the real deal.

These Nations are fairly of equal standings when it comes to form but are mostly on the same wavelength when it comes to finding the back of the net. So there shouldn’t be a shortage of goals in this one. Hence Our Netherlands vs Iceland prediction is Over 3.5 Goals and we recommend the Over 3.5 Goal market.
