            Portugal vs Iceland Prediction, Tips & Stats

            Portugal and Iceland will play out a meaningless game over in Group J with qualification already secured for the 2016 European champions with Slovakia set to join them at Euro 2024 in Germany next summer.

            The champions from seven years ago are heading into this one with a perfect record of nine wins from nine games, as Cristiano Ronaldo racked up his 128th goals from 204 caps last time out in a win over Liechtenstein, as Joao Cancelo also scored in the second half.

            In the last international break Ronaldo also scored a brace against Bosnia & Herzegovina, helping to bring his tally to 10 in eight games in 2023 for his country. Bruno Fernandes and Joao Felix also got in on the act that day, alongside another finish from Cancelo. Another Ronaldo brace came in the 3-2 win over second-placed Slovakia, as Goncalo Ramos got his seventh goal for his country in just 10 caps.

            Further wins such as their 9-0 hammering over Luxembourg have helped Portugal collect 34 goals this qualifying season, as they've also conceded just two goals. This is by far the best record across the qualifying group, albeit against much weaker opposition.

            As for Iceland, they were beaten 4-2 by Slovakia in the last outing which handed the latter qualification to Germany for next year. The Euro 2016 upset kings have won just three games and lost five times to put them on just 10 points for the campaign, although they did give Portugal a real run for their money in their first meeting in Group J. Ultimately, they were done in the final 10 minutes of the game, as Willum Bor Willumsson was sent off in the 80th minute before Ronaldo scored the game's only goal nine minutes later.

            Portugal team news

            Cristiano Ronaldo scored yet again during the week against Liechtenstein to bring his record to 128 goals in 204 caps. Goncalo Ramos may start given the lack of importance behind the match, and he has seven goals in 10 caps. Diogo Jota and Joao Felix should also start, as Vitinha, Ruben Neves and Bruno Fernandes all likely get minutes, but so should 19-year-old Joao Neves. Diogo Costa may also get a runout instead of Rui Patricio because they've already qualified, while Toti Gomes of Wolves and Joao Mario of Port could feature. 40-year-old Pepe is injured and won't feature here, while Diogo Dalot and Nelson Semedo have not made the squad. Nuno Mendes and Matheus Nunes are also out with injuries. Joao Mario has returned now, and William Carvalho struggles to get call-ups these days. Pedro Neto and Andre Silva haven't made the cut, while Rafael Leao is out with an injury.

            Despite being back to playing football, Gylfi Sigurðsson hasn't made the squad due to injury, while Birkir Bjarnason is out too with his 113 caps. Hörður Björgvin Magnússon will be a miss at the back with an injury, and Genoa's Albert Guðmundsson is also out injured. Alfreð Finnbogason will once again be the country's main goalscorer, alongside Andri Guðjohnsen. Aron Gunnarsson will continue to captain his side and get his 104th cap in this one, alongside Hákon Arnar Haraldsson of Lille, Burnley's Jóhann Berg Guðmundsson and Blackburn Rovers' Arnór Sigurðsson.
