Belgium vs Iceland match preview

Belgium aims to establish a three-point lead atop Group 2 of the UNL League A when it hosts lowly-placed Iceland at the Stade Roi Baudouin on Thursday. The Red Devils could then carry the momentum into the final group stage game against Switzerland on Sunday.

Roberto Martinez's side proved to be dominant in its previous with Iceland. The 2018 World Cup bronze medalists cruised to a 3-0 victory away in Reykjavik with Romelu Lukaku grabbing a double and Eden Hazard scoring from the penalty spot. The win was Belgium's 16th in last its last 18 competitive games.

With the team boasting an unbeaten record following their exploits at the World Cup, the upcoming test is also expected to be a formality.

On the other hand, Iceland – who has been a revelation to world football in recent times – have failed to live up to the hype with a poor run of form. The Scandinavians are without a win in last 11 matches and have only managed a draw in its last six games across all competitions.

Nonetheless, the draw against France in last month's friendly should mayhap serve as enough motivation coming up against the neighbors of the World Cup winners.

Who is injured and/or suspended for Belgium vs Iceland?

Belgium's all-time top goalscorer Romelu Lukaku could sit out Thursday's encounter with Iceland having been sidelined at Manchester United in recent games with an injury. Still, Roberto Martinez should have enough men up front to cause trouble for the visitors.

The Scandinavians, on the other hand, have been dealt a massive blow as star player Gylfi Sigurdsson will miss the trip to Belgium with an ankle injury. The Everton man was caught in a challenge from Jorginho during his team's goalless draw at Chelsea on Sunday.
