Gylfi Sigurdsson and table toppers Iceland travel for Czech test

Iceland (an excellent 4/1 with Coral to win) arrive in Plzen to face the Czech Republic in this intriguing Euro 2016 qualifier, having made a perfect start to their campaign.

Their hosts, however, have also enjoyed three wins out of three so far in Group A, and will be aiming to topple the pool leaders on home turf.

Pavel Vrba’s side are understandably odds-on favourites at 4/5 to usurp the visitors, considering their home advantage, and there should be goals galore here, with both teams having netted eight times in qualifying so far.

The Czechs possess an undoubtedly world class custodian in Chelsea’s Petr Cech, despite his Stamford Bridge blues this season. It’s tough to make a case for the defence, however, as they have conceded four in their last three, including two against minnows Kazakhstan.

These recent rearguard wobbles mean they are unlikely to be able to shut adventurous Iceland out. The Nordic men have earned plaudits for their potent threat going forward, but have also been in fine defensive form, and are yet to leak a single goal in qualifying.

Iceland stopper Thor Halldorsson is 13/2 to feel the favour of the football gods once more and help his side win to nil, by keeping his fourth clean sheet of the campaign.

In attack, Group A leading marksman and Swansea City star Gylfi Sigurdsson will be expected to keep up his fine form after bagging four for his nation so far in qualifying. Also flying high in the Premier League, with two goals and seven assists, the influential 25-year-old is 9/1 to fire home first and make the difference for his country yet again.

Iceland and Real Sociedad striker Alfred Finnbogason, one of David Moyes’ new charges, was on target for his country during a warm-up friendly with Belgium, and is 10/3 to carry his threat over to the qualifiers and net anytime.
