How both teams go into Wales vs Iceland

Wales come into matchday five of this Nations League tournament unbeaten, boasting two narrow victories over Montenegro.

Iceland started promisingly with a 2-0 win over Montenegro before a run of three games without a win, including two losses to Turkey, with the other game being an entertaining 2-2 with Wales.
