Iceland Lead Nations League Group C4 as November Deciders Approach
An unbeaten start has put Iceland top of Group C4, with eight points from four matches and two games remaining in the 2026–27 UEFA Nations League.
Iceland's men's national football team head into the final stage of their Nations League group campaign in first place, holding a two-point lead over Estonia after four matches.
According to the published standings of the Icelandic Football Association (KSÍ), Iceland have won two matches and drawn two, scoring seven goals and conceding just one. Their goal difference of plus six is currently the strongest in the group.
Estonia sit second with six points, while Bulgaria have four and Luxembourg three. All four teams have played four matches, leaving two fixtures for each side in the group phase.
A solid defensive record
Iceland's results so far include a 1–1 draw with Estonia on 26 September, a 3–0 away win over Luxembourg on 29 September, a 3–0 victory against Bulgaria at Laugardalsvöllur on 3 October and a 0–0 draw away to Estonia on 6 October.
The figures underline the team's strong start. Iceland have scored seven times across the four matches while allowing only one goal, giving them a positive goal difference that could prove important if teams finish level on points.
The group table also shows how close the race remains. Estonia are unbeaten as well, with one win and three draws. Iceland's two victories, alongside two draws, have given them the advantage at the top.
Iceland's leading scorers
KSÍ's group statistics list Orri Steinn Óskarsson as Iceland's leading scorer in the campaign with three goals. Andri Lucas Guðjohnsen has two, while Guðlaugur Victor Pálsson and Mikael Egill Ellertsson have one each.
These totals provide a snapshot of Iceland's goal contributions across the group stage, rather than just one match.
Two matches to decide the group
Iceland's final two group fixtures are scheduled for November. They are due to face Bulgaria away from home on 13 November before hosting Luxembourg on 16 November.
With Estonia only two points behind, the remaining matches will be important in determining the final group standings. Iceland currently have the advantage, but first place is not yet guaranteed.
The outcome will depend on Iceland's own results and the results of the other teams. Their defensive record and positive goal difference offer encouraging signs, while the final two matches provide an opportunity to finish the group campaign strongly.
The latest standings, results and fixtures are available through the official KSÍ Group C4 competition page.
