The last time these teams met in 2014, when the Belgians won in sparring with a score of 3: 1. I wonder if they will be able to prevail in the official meeting?
Iceland squad held a desperately World Championship, although the biggest problem of the national team was not the absence from the group. The group was complicated and nobody blamed "our guys", but that's how they played - toothless and exclusively from defense. As a result, the head coach left his post, and in the new selection team leads Erik Hamren

In turn, the team of Belgium had a great past, and eventually ended up with bronze. In fact, this is already a breakthrough for this generation of "red devils", which the victories are promised long ago. And finally, Martinez's wards showed their class and strength.
Bookmakers are clearly inclined to win the national team of Belgium, which should not be argued. Yes, the Icelanders are very confident at home, but still now a more powerful team will play against them. In addition, the Belgians have a powerful attack, and it is impossible to stop anti-football. So you should not invent anything here, it's better to put on the guests.

Iceland
Iceland's team did not perform well at the World Championships in Russia, the Vikings could not win in three matches of the group stage, losing to Nigerians 0: 2, Croats 1: 2, having drawn with Argentina 1: 1. In the first round of the League of Nations the northerners crashed with a score of 0: 6 to the Swiss team. If the Neutrals managed to score six times in the Icelanders' goal, how many Belgians can potentially score on Tuesday with their most powerful attack?
Belgium
"Devils" after a successful World Cup official matches did not play, but one friendly match still held. He happened on September 7 at the stadium in Glasgow under the name "Hampden Park", and the Scots in those meetings were defeated 4: 0. Obviously, the Belgians did not become weaker in two months, and they gained the necessary experience of victories.

Switzerland has not only three points in the piggy bank, but also a difference of balls +6.

From the Icelandic team expected a lot at the World Cup 2018, but as a result, the team finished without victories. The only achievement was the match with Argentina, where the national team sustained a draw. After the qualifying round at the World Cup, changes occurred in the lineup, and the first setbacks began with friendly games. For the last five home games, the team did not win any, and only once kept a 2-2 draw with Ghana. However, the team is constantly upsetting their opponents goals, and out of ten matches only one player could not score.
Belgium squad surprised at the World Cup many and many hooked their game. Especially memorable was the strong-willed victory in the match with Japan 3-2. On September 8, the team met in an away game with Scotland and won a decisive victory with a score of 4-0. Belgium is at the peak of its form and has lost only ten meetings, one in Russia against the French national team. Key players Azar, Lukaku and Bachwai in the form, so they will be ready to upset the rivals.

Iceland was simply humiliated in the last match, losing to Switzerland on the road with a score of 0: 6. Well, yes, maybe the defeat could have happened, but in the game of the Icelandic national team there was a decline, it was evident at the World Championships in Russia, but that's the way it is, with such a score, because the defense did not fail that way ever. And against such a background, now there is no faith even in an attempt to take a draw for yourself in this meeting, because the opponent will now be even more serious than he was in the last meeting.
And the team of Belgium we have now the current bronze medalist of the World Cup, and this team could easily share with the Croats second line, judging by the game, and even completely occupy it alone. The hegemony of the French is not discussed. Sharply attacking football will certainly allow the Belgian national team to again bring Iceland a lot of trouble.

The Icelandic team continues a series of failures. The last time the northerners won already in January this year in a friendly match against Indonesia (4-1), after which the Icelanders held eight matches, in which they played twice and lost six times. These six defeats included two fiascoes at the World Cup, not allowing Iceland to expect a way out of the group, as well as a nightmare defeat in the debut match within the League of Nations. On the field of the national team of Switzerland, the wards of the new coach of Swede Eric Hamren missed six times, and in response could not excel at all. And this result, of course, makes us look at the future of the team with pessimism, which was called the main sensation of world football not so long ago.
Belgium, on the other hand, is doing well. After the bronze medal of the World Cup, the team stretched out in a friendly match in Scotland (4-0) and fully prepared for the start of the League of Nations. The only thing that confuses coach Roberto Martinez is Kevin De Breine's injury, which deprives the Red Devils of a decent share of creativity in the middle of the field. But, as has already shown the mentioned match with the Scots, the Belgian national team has other - no less effective options for the game, except through the "bright head" of Manchester City.

In general, it is difficult to find valid arguments in favor of Iceland in this match. Belgium is above the class, both in the team plan, and in the individual, and with the desire of the Red Devils, complete order. Of course, you need to take into account the home field for the Icelanders and their desire to "apologize" to their tribunes for the disgraceful defeat on the weekend, but on one desire against the team level of the Belgians will not go far. And the only thing that can result in the enthusiasm of the hosts team, in our opinion, is the corner at the gate of Thibaut Courtois. Then how to score will be for the most part guests.
Icelanders in Reykjavik will accept the Belgians in the League of Nations. For the guests, that will be the first game in the new tournament, while the guests have already managed to make a fuss on the road against Switzerland.

Iceland started a new tournament with 0-6 and already from the first minutes of the match against the Alpine people it was clear how the Vikings are looking vaguely, although the fillers are essentially the same ones that were on Mundiale. This is the conclusion that the transition to a new coach was not easy and Hamren's first pancake was too lumpy. Most likely, the second one will also come out, because whatever one may say, do not play at home, but play against Belgium, and they are all out now.
Here are the Scots on the road 4-0 was knocked out, not to say that pipers and skirts are simple rivals. In any case, the wards of Martinez immediately take the ball under control and create a moment by moment. Mentally devils have grown very much after Mundialya, where they won bronze and now have to endure Iceland, which is perestrated, with closed eyes.

I think that the fight will take place with a big advantage of the guests, they are higher class at the moment and the selection of players is much better, therefore the main bet will go to the ITB of Belgium, and the alternatives are the victory of guests through TB 2.5 and the minus forehead on the favorite.
THE COLLECTION OF ICELAND
Last Saturday in the Swiss city of St. Gallen, the islanders suffered the most humiliating defeat in recent years (6: 0). Now it's even hard to remember when the previous Icelandic team lost with such a crushing score? Surely, even in those years when the Icelanders played at the level of the national teams of Malta, Luxembourg, Macedonia and national teams of all dwarfish states.

But, nevertheless, the fact of a crushing failure of the participant of EURO-2016 and FM-2018 is obvious. This is a fiasco in the match against Switzerland for the islanders offensively doubly, because this was the first game of blue and white under the guidance of the most experienced Swedish expert Eric Hamren, who previously, for seven years, headed the national team of his country. Undoubtedly, now the new helmsman of Iceland can only regret that at the heart of his team there is no player of Zlatan Ibrahimovic's level.
COLLECTIVE BELGIUM
According to the results of the first round, or rather, one single match of the first day of play, the national team of Switzerland became the sole leader of the second group of League A. In the active squads of Vladimir Petkovic not only three victory points, but also a fantastic difference of goals scored and conceded (6: 0).

And now the original favorite of the group comes into play. This is the semifinalist of the Russian Mundial team of Belgium. In the first round, the team of Roberto Martinez in the League of Nations did not participate, and therefore held a guest friendly match with the team of Scotland. Calling the facts by their proper names, it was a game in one gate of the hosts "Hampden Park". After Romel Lukaku before the break, and in the second half Eden Azar and twice Misha Batshuayi scored four goals in the goal of the Tartan Army (0: 4). Now the Reds arrived in Reykjavik for a guest game with the islanders.
