Iceland - Bulgaria

Iceland arrive at Laugardalsvoellur on 3 October 2026 seeking to solidify their standing in UEFA Nations League C Group 4 following a dominant 3-0 victory over Luxembourg. After an opening draw against Estonia, the home side has found a clinical edge that will test a Bulgaria outfit currently searching for their first win of the campaign. The visitors face a significant challenge as they navigate this matchday 3 encounter without the services of the injured Kiril Despodov and Filip Krastev.

Bulgaria travel to Iceland after a frustrating goalless stalemate with Estonia and a narrow 1-2 defeat to Luxembourg. The expected XI for the visitors features a defensive unit led by Ivan Turitsov and Stefan Velkov, tasked with containing an Icelandic attack that has momentum on its side. With the group table beginning to take shape, both teams recognize the importance of securing points in this pivotal fixture.
