With an eye on improving their team combinations and form ahead of World Cup qualification, Scotland host Iceland in an international friendly. This match at Hampden Park in Glasgow on Friday, June 6, comes with our prediction of a home win.
Scotland won’t start their World Cup qualifying campaign until September, and that makes these friendlies apt preparation to get their hopes up. The biggest challenge before manager Steve Clarke is to rejuvenate a side that was relegated from League A of the UEFA Nations League after a 3-0 loss at home to Greece in March.
That loss was preceded by three consecutive wins, though, which is an indicator of their prowess. A win here will keep them in good spirits as their World Cup qualification starts in September in a group that has Denmark, Greece, and Belarus.
Iceland have a tougher group to tackle as they are paired with France, Ukraine, and Azerbaijan. The Icelanders no longer have the same aura that carried them to the quarter-finals of Euro 2016 and finished third in their Nations League B section.
They lost five of their last seven matches, which saw them get relegated to League C in the Nations League. With only one victory in that sequence, they are showing their vulnerabilities in showing their old form.

Our Scotland vs Iceland Prediction
The presence of impressive players in the squad gives Scotland a chance to dream of winning this first of their two friendlies. While the World Cup qualification campaign is not on the horizon till September, gaining some momentum will be key to their chances. Iceland are no longer the same side that reached the quarter-finals of Euro 2016. With their recent form not quite up to the mark, the visitors could struggle here, and our Scotland vs Ireland prediction is Scotland wins the match.
