• Competition: International Friendlies
• Date: Friday, 6th, June 2025
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CEST
• Venue: Hampden Park (Glasgow)

Scotland aims to raise spirits and fine-tune preparations for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers as they welcome Iceland to Hampden Park in Friday’s friendly encounter.

The World Cup qualifiers may already be underway for some national sides, but that’s not the case for Scotland who find themselves in a four-team section, meaning their campaign won’t kick off until September, and until then they’ll look to fine-tune their sights through a pair of June friendlies.

Iceland find themselves in a four-nation qualifying group featuring Azerbaijan, France and Ukraine, but before they fully turn their attention to that uphill task, they’ll be eager to regain the momentum and belief that slipped away in the wake of their struggles in the UEFA Nations League playoffs.

Scotland vs Iceland Betting Tips : SCOTLAND TO WIN

As mentioned, both national squads will only kick off their World Cup qualifying journey in September, meaning they’ll aim to shake off the rust and build some much-needed momentum through the June friendlies, although we feel Scotland might have the edge going into this one. Despite staging an impressive turnaround late in the group campaign to dodge a direct drop—holding Portugal to a scoreless stalemate and grabbing eye-catching victories over Croatia and Poland—the Tartan Army couldn’t hang on to their top-tier status as they were outgunned by Greece over two legs with a 3-1 scoreline sealing their fate. In line with their Friday's opponent, Iceland also faced relegation from League B of the UEFA Nations League after being comprehensively beaten 5-2 on aggregate by Kosovo in the relegation playoff battle, which deepened their slump with four losses in their previous five matches across all competitions. Besides their poor form, Strakarnir okkar have a real defensive headache as their backline has been shaky and leaky, conceding two or more goals in all but one of their last seven matches, so we expect the Scots to be in a strong position to bounce back especially considering they have asserted clear dominance by beating the Icelanders in all six H2Hs thus far.
