Poland vs. Iceland Tip & Quotas, 08.06.2021 – 18:00 o’clock
On Tuesday evening, 8 June 2021 at 6 p.m., Poland’s last friendly will take place before the European Championships. Opponent Iceland will be welcomed at Poznan Stadium and enjoyed at home. The Bialo-czerwoni did not catch a simple group at the European Championships and meets Spain, Sweden and Slovakia. The Vikings are not present at the final round, but five years ago they caused quite a stir in France as an EM newcomer.

Paulo Sousa’s national team played at home against Russia in the first of two European Championships last Tuesday and did not exceed 1-1. Record goalkeeper Robert Lewandowski has been spared and will probably start again from the beginning against Iceland. For the Bavarian forward, Düsseldorf’s attacker Dawid Kownacki played in the lead. Jakub Swierczok scored the early lead for the Bialo-czerwoni in the 4th minute. The Russians took about a quarter of an hour to quickly compensate by Karavaev (20th). Hits didn’t fall after that and it stayed with the draw.
So far, the Sousa elf has played a mixed year 2021 with only one win from four international matches. The Poles finished three games in the World Cup qualification in Hungary (3:3) and England (1:2), so they remained away without victory. Only the home game against football dwarf Andorra (3-0) could be won. Without superstar Lewandowski it wasn’t enough against Russia for a full success.
Bayern forward Robert Lewandowski is captain of the Polish national team and together with Fortuna Düsseldorf’s Dawid Kownacki the only player from the Bundesliga. In addition to „Lewa“, Keeper Wojciech Szczesny (Juventus Turin), Jan Bednarek (FC Southampton), Piotr Zielinski (SSC Naples) and Arkadiusz Milik (Olympique Marseille) are also stars in the national squad.

The island kickers do not play a major role in the upcoming European Championships and in the ongoing World Cup qualifying. The last friendly on Friday against the Faroe Islands was won 1-0 by the goal of the day by Mikael Anderson (70th), but it was only the second victory this year. In World Cup qualifying group J, the first two international matches in Germany (0:3) and Armenia (0:2) were lost. In the last qualifying match in Liechtenstein there was the first victory for the Vikings (4:1).
Coach Arnar Vidarsson’s national team (in office since December 2020) has lost three out of five international games this year, as the friendly in America at the end of May against Mexico also went 2-1 to the opponent. The EURO 2016 in France was Iceland’s first major European tournament and caused quite a stir, passed the group stage against the later European Champion Portugal (0:0) and even eliminated the English as a clear underdog in the quarter-finals (2:1). Only in the quarter-final did the host finish the Icelandic football fairy tale (2:5). Meanwhile, however, the Strakarnir okkar (Our boys) have reached the hard ground of reality and will only be in the spectator role at the 2021 European Championships because they lost the European Championship playoff game against Hungary in the final (1:2). A round earlier, the Icelanders eliminated Romania (2:1).
There are no stars in the Icelandic national squad. With the young players Albert Gudmundsson (AZ Alkmaar) and Isak Bergmann Johannesson (IFK Norrköping), there are two hopeful players for the future in the national squad. Aron Gunnarsson (Al-Arab) is captain of the Vikings and Arsenal London’s replacement goalkeeper Runar Alex Runarsson is also in the national team between the posts.

The Poles go against Iceland as a clear favourite in the final friendly before the start of the European Championship. The Bialo-czerwoni, however, is far from in EM form and will need victory against the Vikings for the head alone, otherwise the Poles will rather go with a mixed feeling into the first EM game against Slovakia. The Vidarsson team is no longer comparable to the team of 2016, as the results of this year’s World Cup qualification show. The EURO will only be able to follow island clickers in front of TV. We predict that Poland will take advantage of the home advantage and win the international match in Poznan without major problems. Accordingly, we recommend for this international game TippPrognose also the 3-way bets on Poland wins. For this sports betting tip, the online betting providers have betting odds on average around 1.50 + available.
