Match Preview
Iceland is in the mix for a spot in the next World Cup along with three other teams in Group I of these qualifiers. The Vikings are currently third with 13 points just a point behind second-place Ukraine and three points behind first-place Croatia.
The Nordic side is coming off a disappointing 1-0 loss against Finland but did have an impressive 1-0 win against Croatia before that loss. Ukraine is a much tougher opponent than Finland but this game should be very close and an immense test for the Islanders.
Ukraine is currently second with 14 points and this win could propel the team to a first-place position. The latest result for the Eastern European side was an impressive 2-0 win against Tukey, where Borussia Dortmund’s Andriy Yarmolenko scored both goals. Yarmolenko has been in tremendous form as he has already scored five goals in these qualifiers and will be one of the main players to watch in this encounter. The game should be one of the best in Tuesday’s action of the UEFA World Cup qualifiers as there is no clear winner heading into the game.
