Luxembourg could hardly have asked for a better start to their latest Nations League campaign, coming from behind to defeat Bulgaria 2-1 in Plovdiv and moving immediately to the top of Group C4.

Alexander Dimitrov's Bulgaria took an early lead through Asen Chandarov, but Luxembourg responded through Leandro Barreiro before Vincent Thill completed the comeback. 

The victory was Luxembourg's first against Bulgaria and extended their current winning run to two matches.

That result followed a 1-0 friendly victory over Albania in June, while Luxembourg had also beaten Malta twice in their Nations League relegation playoff in March. 

Their recent results therefore offer considerably more encouragement than the side that finished bottom of their Nations League group in the previous cycle.

The home side's attacking numbers remain less convincing than their results, however, having scored only four goals across their last four competitive matches, and their ability to maintain the momentum from Plovdiv will be tested against an Iceland side with considerably more experience at this level.

There are also fitness concerns around Danel Sinani, who was forced off during the victory over Bulgaria. Seid Korac was another notable absentee for Luxembourg in that match after being ruled out through injury, leaving Strasser with some decisions to make before Tuesday's encounter.

Iceland, meanwhile, were held to a 1-1 draw by Estonia in their opening Group C4 fixture, despite taking the lead shortly before half-time through Andri Gudjohnsen. Estonia equalised through Maksim Paskotsi in the second half to take a point back to Tallinn.

The result continued Iceland's difficult run. Arnar Gunnlaugsson's team had also failed to win their previous five matches, including defeats against Argentina and Japan and draws with Haiti and Canada. 

Their last seven matches have now produced three draws and four defeats, leaving them still searching for their first victory since November.

The Estonia match also brought an unwanted setback when Albert Gudmundsson was forced off after only 30 minutes. The Genoa forward had been expected to provide one of Iceland's main attacking outlets, so his fitness will be an important consideration before the trip to Luxembourg.

Iceland nevertheless have reasons for optimism in this fixture. They have historically enjoyed the better record against Luxembourg, although the more recent meetings have swung towards the Red Lions. 

Luxembourg beat Iceland 3-1 during Euro 2024 qualifying before the return fixture ended 1-1 in Reykjavik, meaning the hosts have avoided defeat in their last two encounters.

Whispers predicts: Luxembourg 1-1 Iceland

The under 2.5 goals selection at 1.71 (71/100) is the preferred betting angle, with both teams coming into this match after scoring just once in their respective opening Nations League fixtures. The available markets also make fewer than three goals the more strongly backed outcome.

The draw at 3.25 (9/4) is another appealing option in a fixture where both teams are almost evenly matched, while both teams to score selection at 1.78 (39/50) also has a case, particularly given how all but one of the meetings between these sides has seen both teams find the net.

A 1-1 draw at 6.00 (5/1) is the preferred correct-score selection, with that scoreline currently among the shortest-priced exact results in the market.
