World Cup qualifying Betting Preview: Ukraine vs Iceland

A play-off spot is at stake as Ukraine, sitting third in the Group D standings, take on second-placed Iceland at the Polish Army Stadium in Warsaw, with kick-off set for 12:00 on Sunday 16 November.

Take a chance that both Ukraine and Iceland will be able to score, especially when you consider the attractive +102 that’s been chalked up. We think the BTTS Yes outcome has a good chance of happening.

Ukraine were defeated in their last game. On the road, they suffered a 4-0 World Cup qualifying loss against France at Parc des Princes. Sergiy Rebrov's men recorded just 29% possession and didn’t have any shots on target.

Iceland got the win in their previous game. A 2-0 World Cup qualifying victory occurred on the road at Neftci Arena when playing Azerbaijan. They boasted 56% possession and had six shots on goal, with Albert Gudmundsson and Sverrir Ingi Ingason both on target.

Head-to-Head Statistics

Ukraine overcame Iceland in their last head-to-head encounter. It was a 5-3 scoreline away at Laugardalsvoellur.

Under 9.5 Corners -143

The 9.5 Total Corners line has not been covered in three consecutive Ukraine games, with the last five Iceland matches averaging 7.40 corners. There’s a price of -143 for this Total Corners bet and we think the line is too big.

Ukraine vs Iceland Odds

The odds and lines below are updated regularly and may differ from the prices shown in our picks, which are captured at the time of publication.

For this World Cup qualifying encounter, the bookmakers have Ukraine as the -137 favourites to win. This therefore implies that they have a 58% chance of triumphing. Iceland are operating at larger odds than the opposition and the underdogs can be wagered at +390.

Ukraine -0.75 at -108 means you split your Asian Handicap stake between -0.5 and -1. You ideally want a win by two goals or more against Iceland, although a one-goal victory means a half-stake return and a refund with the other half.

For those anticipating a low-scoring contest, Under 2.5 is the market leader for the Total Goals market. The Both Teams to Score No option is -143 if you think at least one side will fail to score.

The top football betting sites are on hand to provide lots of choice to bettors. It’s now the case that you can select from hundreds of markets for all of the World Cup qualifying games.
