While plenty of other Nations League groups are sewn up, there is still plenty on the line in the final fixtures of Group B4 which features, Wales, Iceland, Turkiye and Montenegro.

Turkiye lead the group currently and will progress as winners if they beat Montenegro, but in the unlikely event Montenegro get something, Wales could claim top spot if they beat Iceland at home.

Match Preview

Wales Recent Form

Wales are unbeaten in the group so far, drawing home and away versus Türkiye and away at Iceland.

Their two victories came away at Montenegro (2-1) and at home to Montenegro (1-0).

Wales Injury News

Owen Beck, Wes Burns, Kieffer Moore and Nathan Broadhead dropped out of the squad before the first match due to injuries.

Craig Bellamy has a new injury concern as Mark Harris was forced off against Türkiye after a nasty head collision. Joe Rodon was involved in that collision, too, but he came out of it apparently unscathed.

Last Wales Lineup

Here's how Wales lined up against Turkiye.

Iceland Recent Form

Iceland could still finish second and will do so if they beat Wales here.

Iceland have won two, lost two and drawn one so far.

Like Wales, their two victories came home and away versus Montenegro.

Last time out against Wales, they drew 2-2.

Iceland Injury News

Captain Aron Gunnarson is out with a thigh injury here, while Logi Tomasson is unavailable due to suspension.

Last Iceland Lineup

Here's how Iceland lined up against Montenegro.

Wales - Player To Watch

Harry Wilson has been warming the bench a fair bit at Fulham recently but that doesn't mean he hasn't contributed as he has three goals in his last 16 minutes of football for the Cottagers, who recently defeated Brentford and Crystal Palace. That goalscoring run did stop against Turkiye, however.

Iceland - Player To Watch

Orri Steinn Oskarsson has scored an impressive three goals in four starts in the Nations League so far, including the opener against Montenegro a few days ago.

Wales vs Iceland - Prediction

The last game between the two sides ended as a draw and both nations are coming of a fair bit of travelling this week, so this might not be a hugely entertaining affair.

Scoreline prediction - Wales 1-1 Iceland
