2026-2027 Nations League: Iceland vs. Estonia, Probable Lineups

Iceland vs. Estonia, scheduled for 6 p.m. on Saturday, is a match for the first matchday of Group 4 in League C of the 2026-2027 Nations League. Both teams are in a group with Bulgaria and Luxembourg, who are playing in Sofia at the same time. The Icelanders are looking to bounce back after a difficult stretch, and their goal is to return to League B in a group that isn’t too challenging; the visitors are coming off wins against the Faroe Islands and Lithuania in the Baltic Cup and are currently on a roll.

The home team’s attacking trio consists of Thorsteinsson, Gufjohnsen, and Gudmundsson, with Haraldsson, Johannesson, and Willumsson in midfield.

Estonia features Tamm as the focal point of the attack, with Miller, Kait, and Saarma as the three attacking midfielders. In midfield, Palumets and Soomets form the duo.

Iceland vs. Estonia: Probable Lineups
Iceland (4-3-3): Valdimarsson; Ellertsson, Magnusson, Tomasson, Palsson; Haraldsson, Johannesson, Willumsson; Thorsteinsson, Gufjohnsen, Gudmundsson. Head Coach: Gunnlaugsson.
Estonia (4-1-4-1): Hein; Larsen, Mets, Kuusk, Peetson; Palumets, Soomets; Miller, Kait, Saarma; Tamm. Head Coach: Henn.

Gunnlaugsson, Iceland’s head coach, has breathed new life into the team and its younger players: “We need to make some changes; perhaps we’ve lost some of the fighting spirit we used to have. My generation trained outdoors in all kinds of weather, but the current generation prefers to stay indoors, in the warmth, and have a glass of milk after practice.”
