Iceland enter this fixture unbeaten in their three Nations League matches, recording two dominant 3-0 wins following an initial 1-1 draw with Estonia. They have conceded only one goal across the campaign while averaging over two goals scored per match. Estonia's compact five-man defensive line has kept their games low-scoring, including two 1-1 draws in their recorded meetings with Iceland. Backing Iceland to secure at least a point reflects their superior current form while respecting Estonia's stubborn defensive structure at home.

Match preview
Estonia host Iceland in UEFA Nations League C action, looking to build on the hard-fought 1-1 draw they earned in the reverse fixture in late September. The hosts have demonstrated solid defensive organisation, lining up in a 5-3-2 shape that restricted Iceland in their previous encounter and helped them maintain a competitive start to their group campaign.
Iceland come into this clash in impressive scoring form, having followed up the opening stalemate against Estonia with back-to-back 3-0 victories over Luxembourg and Bulgaria. With seven goals scored and just one conceded across their three group matches, the visitors possess considerable attacking momentum.
While Estonia have proven resilient on home soil with recent 1-0 wins over Lithuania and the Faroe Islands, Iceland's higher offensive ceiling and consecutive clean sheets give them the upper hand heading into Tallinn.
Key factors
- Iceland are unbeaten in the Nations League group with two wins and one draw, scoring seven goals and conceding only one.

Iceland have been potent in group play, scoring seven goals across three matches, while Estonia found the net against them in the 1-1 draw in September. However, Estonia's 5-3-2 defensive setup has kept scores tight, with none of their last five matches exceeding two total goals. Both head-to-head meetings between these sides finished exactly 1-1. The evidence strongly supports at least two goals being scored, but does not sufficiently justify a third goal against Estonia's disciplined low block.
