Iceland vs Liechtenstein Betting Tips: Over 3.5

The Icelanders have displayed signs of awakening at a critical juncture following three consecutive defeats. This is exemplified by their recent achievement of earning four points in their last two qualifying matches. They narrowly triumphed over Bosnia and Herzegovina with a 1-0 victory last month and then secured a 1-1 draw against Luxembourg in their initial October test.

Currently, Our Boys are sitting second-to-last in Group J with only seven points from seven games in the current cycle. They are trailing second-placed Slovakia by six points. While their chances of securing the second spot are slim, Iceland still holds on to a glimmer of hope for earning a place in EURO.

Although their fate will be influenced by other outcomes, Age Hareide’s team must exert maximum effort in their final three qualifying matches to finish on a positive note. The first obstacle they’ll face in pursuit of this objective is the hapless Liechtenstein, whom they previously defeated convincingly with an impressive 7-0 win earlier this year.

Without a doubt, the 199th-ranked team in the world has endured a true nightmare during this qualifying cycle. They have suffered defeats in all seven matches, with an average of three goals conceded per game. Moreover, Liechtenstein is now faced with the daunting possibility of enduring their most dismal qualification campaign to date if they fail to secure any points in the remaining matches.

Adding to the already grim situation, the Blue-Reds have now suffered their 20th consecutive loss, spanning across various types of matches, including both competitive and non-competitive ones. Their latest defeat came at the hands of Bosnia and Herzegovina, resulting in a 0-2 scoreline on Friday. Regrettably, Konrad Funfstuck’s team is currently going through a distressing period, as their previous triumph dates all the way back to October 20, 2020.

All signs point to Liechtenstein continuing their losing run as they make the trip to Iceland, a side that they’ve suffered four straight defeats against, conceding an astonishing 19 goals in the process. With such a glaring gap in quality and home advantage, we anticipate that Hareide’s men will dominate throughout the match and secure a resounding victory!
