The UEFA World Cup Qualifiers get underway in Group D as Iceland face Azerbaijan in their opening game. Read on to find out our Iceland vs Azerbaijan match prediction.
With Strákarnir Okkar needing a fast start in a group containing France and Ukraine, this match is nothing short of a must-win game. Milli Komanda, meanwhile, arrive on the back of a long winless streak, and given the stakes, the national team could find themselves under pressure from the opening whistle.
Recent results tell us much about each side’s current state. Iceland were narrowly beaten 1-0 by Northern Ireland in their last outing, but they dominated possession with 66% of the ball and showed resilience despite the result. That performance followed an impressive 3-1 victory over Scotland, showing Strákarnir Okkar can find the net against high-level opposition.
Azerbaijan, on the other hand, extended their winless run to ten games with a 2-1 loss to Hungary, leaving them without momentum or belief heading into this qualifier. The National Team have now failed to score in five of their last six matches, and with Iceland’s consistent scoring form, the gap between the sides feels difficult to ignore.

Our Iceland vs Azerbaijan Prediction
In a group where France and Ukraine are expected to dominate, Iceland’s only realistic path forward is by beating Azerbaijan.. Iceland enters this game with the confidence of scoring in nine of their last ten matches and the knowledge that they can compete with stronger opposition, as their 3-1 win over Scotland proved.
In contrast, Milli Komanda remains toothless, struggling for goals and results across their last ten outings. With Iceland fresher, sharper, and highly motivated, we expect them to start Group D with all three points. Hence, our Iceland vs Azerbaijan prediction is Iceland to win.Use £/€50 free bets for the Iceland vs. Azerbaijan game!
