Norway vs Iceland: prediction for the UEFA Women's EURO 2025 match. H2H and likely compositions
Norway
Iceland
On Thursday, July 10, the Norwegian and Icelandic women's national teams will face off in the UEFA EURO 2025. Ahead of this clash, let's take a look at some of the best bets for this matchup.
Match preview:
In the opening round, Norway narrowly edged out Switzerland 2-1 thanks to a goal from Ada Hegerberg and an own goal by Swiss defender Julia Stierli.
Iceland, on the other hand, is a solid side that has repeatedly managed to take points off clear favorites. However, in their first match, the Icelandic team surprisingly lost to Finland, despite being considered the favorites.
We're in for a showdown between a rough, aggressive attack and a disciplined defensive line.
Probable lineups:
Norway:
— Bjelde, Mjelde (c), Harviken, Lund — Risa, Engen, Graham Hansen — Maanum, Hegerberg, Reiten.
Iceland:
Runarsdottir — Arnardottir, Viggosdottir (c), Sigurdardottir, Arnadottir — Jonsdottir, Vilhjalmsdottir, Antonsdottir — Eiriksdottir, Jonsdottir, Jessen.
Match facts and head-to-head:
- The previous match between these teams ended in a 0-0 draw.
- The last time the teams scored three goals in a head-to-head was back in 2018 — since then, just two goals have been scored in their last two meetings.
- In the last five encounters between these sides, Norway has won twice, while the other three matches ended in draws.
- This could be the chance for one of these teams to make a statement on the big stage.
- Historically, these teams haven't been prolific in their direct meetings.
Prediction:
Given the intensity of this fixture and the history between the teams, I confidently predict under 2.5 goals in the match.
Expect a cautious approach from both sides — with a spot in the next round at stake.
So my prediction: under 2.5 goals (odds 1.84).
