Commentator Oleksandr Mikhailiuk prepared a forecast for the 2026 World Cup qualification match between Ukraine’s national team and Iceland.
Serhiy Rebrov«If we disregard the matches against Azerbaijan’s team, Iceland’s national team has very poor defensive performance. They conceded 5 goals from our boys in Reykjavik, and twice two goals from France (although they could have conceded much more). That means 9 goals in three matches within the top-3 of our group.
The attack, meanwhile, shows itself quite well. Our national team conceded 3 goals, they scored twice against the French, but the defense, where there are many aging players, looks very unconvincing.
Of course, Serhiy Rebrov’s coaching staff will conduct rotation, and most of those who played from the start in Paris will remain on the bench. We will no longer play with three defenders and, along with Tsygankov, Malinovsky, and Zubkov in attack, we will have more sharpness.
Given everything mentioned above, I suggest betting that Ukraine will score at least twice on Sunday. Bookmakers offer odds of 1.95 for the „nominal hosts' individual total over 1.5.“ Good luck to you!!!» said Mikhailiuk.
