Republic of Ireland vs Iceland Prediction

Since they have more than two months for their next World Cup fixtures, the two sides shouldn’t push it too hard and the players will keep it reserved because of their respective club duties afterwards. The winning prediction doesn’t lean on either side, and it would be a real treat for the betting fans if there are any goals scored. Ball possession differential will be very narrow, but the shots on goal stats will turn out to be a letdown. Still, both sides will have an opportunity to test each other in terms of skills.
