Final Prediction
Ukraine 2-3 Iceland
Despite Ukraine’s squad value advantage, Iceland’s better recent form and offensive capabilities (1.9 goals scored average) suggest they can secure an away victory. Ukraine’s defensive vulnerabilities (2.1 goals against average) likely won’t withstand Iceland’s attacking pressure.
