Iceland vs Wales Prediction, Odds and Betting Tips: Brennan Johnson tipped to continue sparkling form

New Wales manager Craig Bellamy will bid to continue his positive start to life in the Dragons dugout when his team face Iceland in Reykjavík on Friday night, live on S4C and BBC iPlayer at 7.45pm.

Football can be a game that flows to the rhythm of momentum and confidence. Take Brennan Johnson as a prime example. 

This season, Johnson has netted six goals in 10 appearances across all competitions for Spurs, meaning he has already exceeded his total of five goals from the entire 2023/24 season, which for him spanned 35 matches.

The Welsh forward is currently in exceptional form, having scored in each of his last six matches for Tottenham; a milestone not reached at the club since Harry Kane accomplished this feat in 2019.

Johnson now presents an attractive price at 19/5 with BetMGM to carry this impressive scoring streak into the international arena with Wales, as they prepare to face a country languishing down in 71st in the world rankings.

I will also be targeting a shot on target from Brennan Johnson which I've teamed with Wales to either win or draw (double-chance) to form an 11/10 double.

Johnson has scored six goals in his last six matches across all competitions and has recorded a shot on target in nine of his ten appearances for Tottenham this season. Given his exceptional form, he is likely to play a significant role in Wales' offensive efforts on Friday evening.

Admittedly the outcome of the match is difficult to call. Wales have made a promising start under Bellamy, recording a draw against Euro 2024 quarter-finalists Turkey, followed by a victory in Montenegro.

As for Israel, you never really know what you're going to get as evidenced by their last six results: WLWLWL, which includes a 1-0 victory over England and a substantial 4-0 loss to the Netherlands.

Wales edge favouritism with BetMGM but opting for them to win or draw as a safeguard, in conjunction with a Johnson shot on target, provides us with an appealing 11/10 price which I'm happy to take.
