World Cup - Qualification Europe
Iceland has lost some of its shine lately, but now has a chance to attack for second place in this group, where the top favorite is France. They lost their last match to France, but did so more than honorably, ultimately falling 1:2 in Paris. Just before that, however, they erupted with a home 5:0 against Azerbaijan. Thus, there have been over 2.5 goals in six of Iceland's last seven matches.
On the other hand, Ukraine seems to be experiencing a dip in form, if we look at the team's recent matches. They have only one victory in their last five encounters, which came in a friendly against New Zealand. In their last match, they managed only a 1:1 draw against the group's underdog Azerbaijan. Both teams have scored in seven of Ukraine's last nine matches.
Prediction: Both teams to scoreIceland seems to show some improvement, unlike Ukraine lately. My choice for the match will be goals in both nets. This often happens with Ukraine in general, and Iceland has also had high-scoring matches recently.
