Football predictions for tomorrow

Finland drew 0-0 at home to Belarus, while Albania’s match against Belarus also finished under 2.5 goals, despite Albania winning 2-0. Neither side has been particularly convincing going forward and both often struggle to create many chances (Finland generated just 0.6 xG against Belarus).

Both sides seem to be at a similar international level and neither possesses a significant advantage heading into this game, other than Finland's home advantage. Finland's home draw with Belarus showed that, if they cannot score themselves, they have enough defensive resilience to limit their opponents' chance creation. A draw is therefore a plausible outcome.

Both Finland and Albania have shown their ability to score against lesser opponents, with Finland doing so against San Marino and Albania against Belarus. This should also signal their attacking potential ahead of Saturday's fixture.

Finding the back of the net has not been an issue for either side in recent fixtures. The hosts breached Iceland's backline to secure 1 goal on the road in September, building on the 1 goal they registered against Lithuania in the Baltic Cup final. Luxembourg showed their offensive threat by clinical striking to net 2 goals past Bulgaria in their recent away victory, ensuring they possess the firepower to respond in Tallinn.

Expect total chaos in the second half. Iceland just scored three times against Luxembourg, while Bulgaria’s fragile defense completely falls apart on the road as matches drag on.

Expect a high-scoring affair in Reykjavik. Eight of Iceland’s last 11 competitive games cleared this line, and Bulgaria mirrors that trend with over 2.5 goals hitting in eight of their last ten. Plus, historical head-to-heads average a wild 3.8 goals per match.

Bulgaria's away form is absolutely dreadful. They have lost their last four competitive matches on the road while shipping 11 goals. Iceland is top of the group and possesses far superior momentum to secure a historic first-ever win against these rivals. Trust the hosts here.

Croatia possess enough attacking quality to threaten an England defence that looked vulnerable against Spain. However, the Three Lions' greater depth and impressive recent record in this fixture suggests they can edge to victory this weekend.

Both nations enter this clash desperately seeking stability after mixed early results in their League C campaign. Estonia demonstrated their resilience during their opening match, holding Iceland to a hard-fought 1-1 draw away from home. Similarly, Luxembourg have shown fine competitive resolve this year, grinding out a tight 1-0 away victory against Albania in a summer friendly. Given the narrow gap between the sides, a close stalemate looks highly probable.

While England are usually solid defensively, previous encounters between these nations point towards a high-scoring outcome. BTTS landed in six of their last eight meetings since 2007 including England’s 4:2 World Cup win in June.
