Preview
- Tournament: International Friendlies
- Date: Friday, June 7
- Kick-off Time: 07:45 pm GMT
- Venue: Wembley Stadium, England
England national football team will test their mettle against the Iceland national football team at their home ground Wembley one last time before they set off to Germany for the UEFA Euro 2024. England registered a comfortable 3-0 win over Bosnia & Herzegovina with a dominant second-half performance.
England national football team will aim for a positive outcome on Friday against a side that struggled to qualify in the European Championships play-offs. The 2020 Euro finalists will be looking to make one final pre-Euro statement before the Euros. They have been drawn alongside Denmark, Slovenia and Serbia. The Three Lions are yet to taste a competitive defeat since their World Cup exit in Qatar.
Meanwhile, the Iceland national football team has had a decent run after securing three consecutive wins at the start of 2024 before collapsing against Ukraine in the European play-off semi-final back in March.

England vs Iceland Prediction
England national football team secured a 3-0 victory in their latest friendly against Bosnia-Herzegovina at St James’ Park. The Three Lions have a decent chance of tasting European glory this summer, as they are the favourites of every bookmaker. They are blessed with a very young squad with a plethora of talent in every position.
Iceland national football team, meanwhile, won’t pose a big threat to Gareth Southgate’s men in this away friendly. They registered six defeats and only three wins in qualifying Group J and earned a spot into the European play-offs despite finishing fourth in the group with ten points.
Predicted Score: England 3-0 Iceland
