Prediction Northern Ireland vs Iceland season – Betting Tips for Friendly International on June 10, 2025

As two nations prepare to clash at Windsor Park on June 10, 2025, anticipation is building for what promises to be an exciting Friendly International match. Northern Ireland will host Iceland, and fans are gearing up to see how these two teams will perform, especially in light of their recent match histories.

Team Form Analysis

Northern Ireland enters this match under a bit of pressure. The team has faced two defeats in their last three matches, losing 2-1 to Denmark just two days ago and suffering a heavy 5-1 loss to Sweden in March. They managed to secure a draw against Switzerland but have struggled to find the back of the net, with their solitary win coming against Belarus in a 2-0 triumph last November. Their recent performances reflect a lack of scoring capability, managing just one goal in their last three outings, and their defensive lapses have cost them dearly.

In contrast, Iceland arrives with a more buoyant spirit, fresh off a convincing 3-1 victory against Scotland just a few days prior. This win highlights their goalscoring potential, boasting an average of three goals scored against both Scotland and Montenegro in their last two matches. Despite recent challenges in their qualifying games against Kosovo, their latest form suggests they have found a rhythm that could carry them to another win in Belfast.

Head-to-Head Insights

Historically, matches between these two teams have been tightly contested, but Iceland has had the edge in their last encounter, where they won 2-1 in the Euro Qualification match. This recent head-to-head victory could provide a psychological advantage as Iceland steps on the field. With Northern Ireland yet to secure a win in their last three matches, they will face a daunting task against an Icelandic side that seems to be hitting form just in time for this match.

Betting Recommendations

With Northern Ireland suffering from a shaky patch and Iceland riding high after their recent successes, it’s reasonable to lean towards an away victory in this matchup. The odds suggest a home win at 2.05 having a probability of 48.78%, while the away team, Iceland, has odds of 3.60 and a probability of 27.78%. However, considering Iceland’s recent performance and attacking prowess, betting on Iceland to win stands out as a lucrative option.

Moreover, given Northern Ireland's struggles in scoring and Iceland's ability to convert chances, another interesting market could be the “Over 2.5 Goals” market, especially since Iceland's last matches have seen higher total goals.

Whatever your choice, expect an electrifying encounter as these two nations battle it out on the pitch!
