Ukraine vs Iceland Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers

The Synio-Zhovti emerged victorious when they last faced the Strákarnir okkar.
The Ukraine national football team are ready to take on the Iceland national football team for their FIFA World Cup UEFA qualifiers match. Stadion Miejski Legii Warszawa is all set to witness this clash.
The Synio-Zhovti will be at home, and it is going to be a perfect opportunity for them to secure three easy points. They have come up with average efforts in the World Cup qualifying so far. The Ukraine national football team faced a 0-4 defeat at the hands of France and will need to come up with a better approach.
The Strákarnir okkar are coming in after securing a 2-0 win against Azerbaijan in their last fixture. It was a good effort by them, and expect them to put up a similar show. However, the Iceland national football team did not come up with a pleasing performance when they last faced Ukraine.

Players to Watch
Roman Yaremchuk (Ukraine)

Albert Gudmundsson (Iceland)
Albert Gudmundsson will be one of the main men in the attacking front for the Iceland national football team. He was one of the goal scorers in their previous FIFA World Cup qualifiers fixture. Gudmundsson can control the midfield well and can also help his side in the final third.
