ESTONIA - ICELAND
A heavy favourite, with the price to match. Iceland is the shortest price on a book of 5.5 / 4 / 1.6 (1 / X / 2), an implied 59.1%. Across the three outcomes the book reads 17.2% / 23.7% / 59.1% on an overround of 5.7%.
Liquidity is strong — €15,960 already matched on the 1X2 market, putting this among the most heavily traded fixtures on the card. Prices in a market that deep are far more reliable than in a thin one.
Our monitoring has flagged unusual money on this game: 75% of the matched volume has gone on under 2.5 goals. Treat it as a signal to look closer, not as a tip in itself.
Estonia are without 5 — Vlasiy Sinyavskiy (Out), Martin Miller (Out), Rocco Robert Shein (Out), Vladislav Kreida (Out), Mark Anders Lepik (Out).
Iceland are without 10 — Jóhann Guðmundsson (Out), Sverrir Ingason (Out), Mikael Ellertsson (Suspended), Stefán Þórðarson (Doubtful), Hjörtur Hermannsson (Out), Alfons Sampsted (Out). Losing Jóhann Guðmundsson is the kind of absence that moves a price.
Confirmed lineups are in: Estonia set up 3-5-2 against 4-3-3. See the pitch graphic above for the full XI.
