    Competition - UEFA Nations League
    Status - League B, Group B4
    Date - 11 October 2024
    Venue - Laugardalsvöllur, Reykjavik
    Kick off - 19:45

    Wales will be hoping to continue an encouraging start to life under new Manager Craig Bellamy as they take on Iceland in the Nations League.

    An impressive performance in a draw against Turkey was followed up by a good away win in Montenegro in the first two fixtures under Bellamy, who succeeded Rob Page at the helm in July.

    It leaves Wales a point ahead of their opponents in Group B4, though this will be a demanding trip.

    Freezing temperatures will greet the Welsh squad in Reykjavik, while Iceland showed their quality when they beat England at Wembley earlier this year.

    Turning to team news, Aaron Ramsey and Ethan Ampadu missed out on the Wales squad due to injury, though the former has linked up with the group to continue to rehabilitate his hamstring issue. Joe Allen reversed his international retirement to accept a call-up, and may make his return.

    Whilst for Iceland, centre back Brynjar Ingi Bjarnason again misses out for Iceland having injured himself ahead of their September international fixtures.

    Iceland: Valdimarsson; Palsson, Hermannsson, Gretarsson, Finnsson; Anderson, Gudmundsson, Thordarson, Thorsteinsson; Sigurdsson; Gudjohnsen

    Wales: Darlow; Roberts, Mepham, Rodon, Davies; Allen, Cooper; Johnson, Wilson, Koumas; Moore

    Viewers in the UK can watch the match live on S4C, with Welsh language coverage from 7.20pm BST. A live stream will be available via the BBC iPlayer.

    I think that Iceland will prove too strong and will run out 2-0 winners.

    Hope I’m wrong <cheers>

    Like watching 2 totally different teams. Really poor second half.

    Defending was far worse, Roberts beaten for pace and what was Roden doing for their first goal
