Iceland - Ukraine: betting tip and bets for the World Cup qualification match

Iceland is showing good preparation for the qualifying tournament and for the fight for the second place in the group. Still, it's hard to fight France for the first position at a distance. Nevertheless, it is worth noting that the Icelanders almost took away points from the French when they played ten from the 68th minute, and in the 88th minute only the intervention of the VAR with an uncounted ball deprived the Icelanders of one point – a 1-2 defeat on the road. Before that, Arnar Gunnlaugsson's team defeated Azerbaijan (5-0) and by the start of the third round they are in second place in the quartet, two points ahead of Ukraine.

Ukraine was initially considered as the main contender for the second place, according to bookmakers' quotes. However, after two rounds, Sergey Rebrov's players put themselves in a difficult position. At the start, they quite expectedly lost 0:2 to France, and in the second round they could not beat Azerbaijan on the road (1:1). A defeat today will actually deprive the team of a chance to take second place, and a draw is also more in the hands of the hosts.
