Coming into the tournament, if we'd told you Hungary and Iceland would occupy the top two spots in the same group as Portugal and Austria you'd have probably scoffed in our faces and we'd have accepted it because absolutely no-one expected this to happen.

Iceland opened their campaign with a solid, well-earned 1-1 draw against Portugal and were 2 minutes away from picking up a victory over Hungary in this second game so head into this game knowing another draw will be enough to see them through to the last 16 as 3rd place qualifier (at the expense of Albania) at the very minimum.

Austria, on the other hand, have been bitterly disappointing at the tournament in which they were expected to be one of the 'dark horses'. Their failure to score a single goal combined with a 2-0 loss to Hungary leaves them teetering on the edge of European elimination.

Both sides will be pumped up for this one. Austria are desperate for a win and Iceland know they only need a draw so expect to see a lot of sustained Austrian pressure and Icelandic counter-attacks. This group has been good for low-scoring games so far so we're backing Under 2.5 Goals at 40/85.
