THE PREDICTION
In 2016, Iceland reached their first ever major international tournament. In 2020, Finland reached their first ever major international tournament. Both enjoyed success deploying the Roy Hodgson-influenced stereotypical Scandinavian methods of a flat 4-4-2 with a tight and caged defensive style of play but both flourished way beyond their expectations. Neither side will expect long-term or sustained levels of their previous, recent success and Iceland, in fact, have declined significantly amid an off-field scandal whereby the FA have been accused of covering up sexual assault within their organisation. Whilst irrelevant information for predicting a friendly outcome, it does highlight the fall of Iceland, both on and off the pitch. A draw would appear the likeliest outcome for this one.
