In the 2024-25 Nations League B, Iceland finished second last in their group, ending up in third place with just seven points from a possible 18 and suffering relegation.
It would be wrong to suggest that the national team have fallen short of their expectations in recent years considering their history in major competitions is limited.
However, the current side have struggled to live up to the example set by previous iterations, with the country failing to qualify for any of the four tournaments since they exited the 2018 World Cup.
Boss Arnar Gunnlaugsson could field Hakon Valdimarsson in goal due to the fact Elias Rafn Olafsson has undergone kidney surgery.
Estonia's campaign in the 2024-25 Nations League cannot be described as a success given they failed to earn promotion, though remaining in the Nations League C should not be dismissed as an achievement.
The country only took four points from 18 in that tournament, losing four times, drawing once and winning once, but they have won four of their last five games in all competitions.
In seven meetings between the two nations, Estonia have only won once, though the two have settled for stalemates in each of their past three encounters.
Head coach Jurgen Henn could give forward Alex Tamm his 22nd cap, and the attacker may be partnered by Karel Mustmaa.

Whispers predicts: Iceland 0-2 Estonia
Given the form of the visitors, it is surprising to see an Estonia victory priced at 9/1 (10), but it could be the way to go.
Two or fewer goals have been scored in the last five clashes between the two sides, so it makes sense to back Under 2.5 Goals at 23/20 (2.15).
Considering Estonia have been level with their opponents at half time in four of their last six games, there could be value in a bet of Draw at Half Time at 6/4 (2.5).
Estonia have scored first in three of their last four games, and that could make a prediction of Estonia to Score First at 11/4 (3.75) a sensible bet.
> Under 2.5 Goals at 23/20 (2.15) | Likelihood: Possible
> Draw at Half Time at 6/4 (2.5) | Likelihood: Possible
> Estonia to Score First at 11/4 (3.75) | Likelihood: Outsider
