Northern Ireland are set to renew acquaintances with Iceland for the first time since 2007. They play host to the visitors at Windsor Park. Here's our match prediction.
Northern Ireland have not been involved in any competitive matches on the international stage since their 2-2 away draw against Luxembourg in the UEFA Nations League on November 11, 2024.
After the Nations League result, which guaranteed them promotion to League B for the first time since 2020, the Green and White Army went on to play two friendly matches in March. However, they were unsuccessful in both games (D1, L1).
In their most recent friendly clash, they suffered a 2-1 away defeat to Denmark. So far, they are winless in four games, including two consecutive losses in the friendlies.
Iceland are underdogs with the bookmakers, but they won't be intimidated by Northern Ireland, having won two consecutive matches in this fixture. The last meeting, however, was in September 2007.
Our Boys' most recent friendly clash was against Scotland. They won 3-1 on the road. The triumph couldn't have come at a better time, considering they had endured a difficult period, particularly in the UEFA Nations League.
They were on a three-match losing streak in the Nations League. Their last match was against Kosovo in the second leg of the League B/C relegation playoff, and a 3-1 home defeat saw them slip down to League C.

Our Northern Ireland vs Iceland Prediction
Northern Ireland have seen a decline in performance. In their last eight matches, they have managed just two wins. However, it has been a different showing when playing at home. They are unbeaten in six games with five wins.
Iceland have lost five of their last eight matches. However, taking into account their two-match winning streak in this fixture, though, this could turn out to be a cagey affair. The previous meeting between these two teams ended 2-1 in favour of Iceland. We could see both sides get on the scoreboard. Our Northern Ireland v Iceland prediction: both teams to score.
