View Odds >Argentina vs Iceland Prediction & Betting Tips – 10/06/2026
Argentina travel to Reykjavik's Laugardalsvöllur on 10 June 2026 for a friendly international against Iceland, a fixture that carries no competitive stakes but plenty of intrigue. The two sides have met just once before, sharing the spoils in a memorable 1-1 draw at the 2018 World Cup. For Lionel Scaloni's squad, this represents a chance to maintain sharpness ahead of sterner tests, while Iceland will look to use home advantage and arrest a worrying run of form in front of their own supporters.
Match Analysis
Argentina arrive as clear favorites at 1.17, riding a three-game winning streak and backed by the depth of a reigning World Cup squad. Even with notable absences, their individual quality comfortably exceeds Iceland's current level.
- 3 consecutive wins for Argentina heading into this friendly, versus Iceland's LDDL run.
- World Cup holders since 2022, with a squad depth Iceland simply cannot match at any position.
- Sole H2H ended 1-1 in 2018, but Iceland's surprise-package era has clearly faded since then.
- Attacking alternatives remain available despite Álvarez absence; Lautaro leads a still-dangerous front line.
Iceland face a steep challenge at 15.00, hosting Argentina at Laugardalsvöllur with a LDDL run in recent fixtures. The home crowd and familiar pitch offer their best hope of disrupting a superior opponent.
- LDDL recent form highlights Iceland's struggle to find consistency or attacking momentum.
- Only 1 H2H meeting on record, a 2018 draw, and Iceland have regressed since that peak.
- Hordur Magnus unavailable, adding to a squad that already lacks top-tier individual quality.
Key point: With no goals market data available, the double chance covering both an Argentina win and a draw offers a cautious angle given the multiple Argentine absences and the Reykjavik venue factor.

Our Verdict
Argentina's three-match winning run and Iceland's poor sequence of four fixtures without a victory make the home win at 1.17 the standout selection. Their sole previous meeting ended level at the 2018 World Cup, but the gulf in current form is telling. Backing over 2.5 goals at N/A appeals given Argentina's attacking firepower, while both teams to score at N/A looks worth considering. The away win is our primary pick. 18+.
