Match Stats

The Turkish national team was one of the biggest surprises of Euro 2024. Under coach Vincenzo Montella, Turkey's attacking and dynamic style saw them reach the quarterfinals, where they narrowly lost 1-2 to the Netherlands.

Turkey's struggles in recent years resulted in them playing in League C in the previous Nations League, where they dominated their group, finishing ahead of Luxembourg, the Faroe Islands, and Lithuania. In the first match of the current campaign, Turkey played a goalless draw against Wales, with star player Arda Güler leaving the game due to injury.Iceland amazed the world at Euro 2016 and qualified for the 2018 World Cup, but the team has since experienced a decline. The current generation of Icelandic players is less impressive. Iceland reached the playoff final in Euro 2024 qualifying but lost 1-2 to Ukraine.

In the last Nations League, Iceland finished second in their group behind Israel and Albania. They started this campaign with a solid 2-0 win over Montenegro.
