Israel were scheduled to start this season’s Nations League competition with a game against Russia, but that will not happen, with Russia’s suspension. They are thus slated to start it off with a home game against Iceland in Group 2 of League B. Israel have been conceding a lot of goals in their recent matches. They come into this game with two wins in the last seven matches and in their last 10 games, they’ve conceded two or more goals in eight. However, they have not just been on the receiving end; they’ve also done well in attack. In their last 10 games, they’ve scored two or more goals in seven matches. As a result, their matches have been high scoring – 11 of their last 12 outings have posted over 2.5 goals. Playing at home, Israel are unbeaten in their last five matches, winning three and drawing two. They’ve scored two or more in each of their last four home matches, with each one of those producing over 2.5 goals, but both sides have scored in each of their five home games.

Iceland are coming into this game on a poor run; they are winless in the last six matches, and in the last three alone, they’ve conceded 11 goals. Their only win in the last 12 matches was against Liechtenstein and that is just one of the two clean sheets they have in that run. Their last outing was a friendly match against Spain, which ended in a 5-0 whooping in March, just two months after another heavy loss, falling 5-1 to Korea Republic. In their last five matches, they’ve conceded three or more goals three times. In their last five away matches, Iceland are winless and have conceded two or more goals in three of them. They’ve met three times with Israel before, and won none of the three games, losing each of the last two. In the three meetings, Iceland have conceded two or more in each, but this is the first competitive game between the two.
