Argentina vs Iceland Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Argentina
- Odds: -556 (Tonybet)
Argentina have played several friendlies against lower-profile squads that didn’t qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and that trend continued in their previous match with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Honduras.
That was La Albiceleste’s sixth consecutive win across all competitions, a stretch in which they’ve recorded five clean sheets while scoring at least two goals in five of those games. It’s easy to see why Argentina are considered the odds-on favourites to defeat Iceland in their final tune-up before the World Cup.

The Nordic side are coming off a 1-0 loss to Japan, and their recent results have been underwhelming. They’ve won just one of their last nine matches across all competitions (W1, D3, L5).
Lionel Scaloni is widely expected to make changes across the board compared to the XI he fielded against Honduras, but that shouldn’t impact the projected outcome of this fixture. Ranked third in the world, Argentina remain clearly superior to Iceland even without a full-strength lineup. The Nordic team, ranked 75th, have struggled for consistency and are likely to find themselves outmatched once again.
Argentina vs Iceland Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Lautaro Martinez to score anytime
- Odds: -125 (Tonybet)
We’re banking on Lautaro Martinez to make a big impact once again, just like he did in the previous friendly against Honduras, where he scored the first goal of the match and assisted on the second one.
With both Lionel Messi and Julian Álvarez unlikely to start here, Martinez should lead the attack once again, and he’s been very productive when given the chance. The Inter Milan striker has netted 16 goals in his last 28 appearances with the national team.

- SGP: Argentina to score first goal + Argentina under 2.5 total goals + Argentina to lead at HT
- Odds: +242 (Tonybet)
Our three-leg parlay strongly backs Argentina. Scaloni’s men are expected to dominate the contest and shouldn’t have trouble breaking the deadlock, as they’ve done in each of their previous six friendlies against lower-ranked teams.
An early lead can’t be ruled out, with La Albiceleste likely to play with far more intensity in the first half before rotating heavily after the break.

The projected flow of this match, which should feature lots of substitutions and tactical adjustments in the second half, might limit Argentina’s ability to run up a dominant scoreline.
They have scored under 2.5 goals in seven of their last 10 games across all competitions, and with them avoiding unnecessary risks here, another low-scoring clash could be on the cards.
Argentina vs Iceland Team News
Argentina Team News
Argentina heavily rotated their squad in the friendly against Honduras, and manager Lionel Scaloni is likely to make several changes here as well. Players like Lionel Messi, Emiliano Martinez, and Cristian Romero are once again not expected to start, as the coaching staff prioritizes fitness ahead of the World Cup opener against Algeria.
Leandro Paredes is unavailable due to a leg injury, and it remains unclear whether the Boca Juniors midfielder will recover in time for the tournament opener, meaning Exequiel Palacios could take his place.
Leonardo Balerdi (leg), meanwhile, has been ruled out for the World Cup, and Scaloni hasn’t announced his replacement yet, with Marcos Senesi being the likely option to step in.
Iceland Team News
Iceland won’t have any injury concerns ahead of this fixture, but several players who were initially named in the squad for these friendly matches won’t be available here. The list of absences includes veteran defender Aron Gunnarsson (109 caps), midfielder Johann Berg Gudmundsson (102 appearances) and striker Andri Gudjohnsen (39 caps, 10 goals).
