The teams have different levels, with the multiple-time European champions being the favorites, while Iceland appears weaker, and it would be better for the "Vikings" to conserve their strength for matches against equal opponents. The youth national teams of Iceland and Spain have not faced each other in official matches.
Iceland U19
In the qualifying round, Iceland surprised many youth football enthusiasts by defeating England (1-0). The odds for that match were 13.00, but it didn’t discourage the Iceland team, and they managed to astonish the entire football world. The upcoming opponent is not stronger than the English team, and the nominal hosts are no longer such huge underdogs.

Prediction
Our expert pick:
Despite Iceland's successful performances in the qualifiers, we lean towards the belief that it will be unrealistic for them to play smartly and earn points against the Spanish team. The nominal guests play exceptionally well and never underestimate their opponents, so we believe in their convincing victory. Our prediction is the Asian handicap (-1.5) on Spain. The bookmaker 1xBet offers this event with odds of 1.69. With all due respect to Iceland, we think it will be beyond their capabilities to break through the strong Spanish defense, which has kept a clean sheet for eight consecutive matches. Our prediction is that at least one team will not score. This event has odds of 1.82. Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.69. Promo code for registration - ODDS2WIN.
