Iceland Team News
In the third round of qualification for EURO 2024, Iceland lost at home to Slovakia 1:2. The guests took the lead in the 27th minute, and the equalizer followed in the 41st after a penalty kick, and Alfred Finnbogason was accurate from the penalty spot. In the 69th minute, the visiting team gained a new advantage and put an end to this duel.
They currently occupy only the fifth position in the table, with only three points won from as many matches. Before the match with Slovakia, in the first round, they lost to Bosnia and Herzegovina away from home by 3:0, and in the second they outclassed Liechtenstein away from home by even 0:7.
Captain Aron Gunnarsson was injured during the warm-up in the last game and is now uncertain for the next match against Portugal and this can be a big handicap for the home team. If he is not ready, the captain’s armband will be taken over by Johann Berg Gudmundsson, and there should be no other surprises in the starting line-up.
Portugal Team News
Portugal’s football players once again convincingly triumphed in the group stage of the EURO qualifiers, and this time they defeated Bosnia and Herzegovina at home 3:0. They took the lead at the very end of the first half, and the scorer was Bernardo Silva. In the second part of the match, they scored two goals, both times by Bruno Fernandes.
They are currently on maximum performance with all the wins in the group. It is interesting that they have not conceded a single goal so far, and scored as many as 13. In the first round, they beat Liechtenstein 4:0, while they managed to score six goals in the away game against Luxembourg.
Goncalo Ramos will probably miss the next duel of his national team, and next to him, Renato Sanches and Toti Gomes will be out of the protocol due to injuries. All other players will be available. In the starting lineup, there should be no surprises, with Ruben Neves expected to get the nod over Joao Palhinho in midfield.

Iceland vs Portugal Prediction
Portugal is the clear favorite in this match due to its exceptional form and state of the table, and anything but a victory for the guests would be a real surprise. Also, we believe that at least three goals will be scored in the match, due to the Portuguese national team’s performance in the previous part of the EURO 2024 qualifiers.
