The two national teams have faced each other only three times so far. The first two duels took place in the qualifiers for Euro 2012, and then Portugal recorded a double victory, 3-1 away in the round match and 5-3 in the return match in Portugal, resulting in two very spectacular games.

Iceland no longer has the generation of previous years, and in the last qualifications for the final tournaments, it has not recorded such good results. In this group, Iceland is surpassed by four other teams, Portugal, the favorite of the group, Slovakia, Luxembourg and Bosnia.
Portugal:
On the other hand, Portugal have started this Euro 2024 qualification campaign perfectly, registering three wins in the first three matches in which they scored 13 times and did not concede a single goal, Cristiano Ronaldo being the team’s top scorer with four goals scored, followed by Bruno Fernandes with three goals. In the first match, Portugal won against Liechtenstein, score 4-0, in the second match they scored against Luxembourg, away, 6-0 and in the most recent match they beat Bosnia 3-0 at home.
