Alon Hazan’s side are back in Budapest – Hungary having been their temprary base for their last couple of qualifiers – and it has not been a particularly successful home for them.

Last November, Israel needed an 88th-minute equaliser to rescue a draw against Switzerland before suffering a 2-1 defeat to Romania a few days later.

They were a similar price in the Romania game as they are here against an Iceland side whose recent record does not look great. Age Hareide’s side lost four of their five away Euro 2024 qualifiers and conceded multiple goals in each defeat.

But Iceland drew home and away with Israel in the last Nations League games and seem to match up well against them due to their superior physicality.

It is something Israel will be well aware of as they attempt to deal with Iceland’s aerial threat on set-pieces and long throws.

Hareide is nurturing a young squad and they may not quite have the required experience to get through at this moment in time, but they can certainly score against an Israel side that kept just three clean sheets in the last four years – against Faroe Islands, Belarus and Andorra.

Iceland are a much better side than any of those three and with in-form Albert Gudmundsson leading the way for Genoa with 10 Serie A goals, they can ensure both teams find the back of the net on Thursday.

Israel vs. Iceland Head to head
