The hosts sit top of the group with four points from two matches, buoyed by a commanding victory over Luxembourg last time out. Bulgaria, meanwhile, languish at the foot of the table, winless and struggling for form. For Iceland, three points would strengthen their grip on promotion; for Bulgaria, anything less than a result here leaves their campaign in serious trouble.

Bulgaria's four-match winless run and inability to convert 42 free kicks into a single goal across five outings expose real attacking frailty. The hosts have won both previous head-to-head meetings, and Laugardalsvöllur's atmosphere should tilt proceedings further. We also fancy under 2.5 goals at 1.95 as a supporting pick, given Bulgaria's blunt attack.
