Italy vs Iceland: Prediction, Head-to-Head, Odds & Stats (Thu, 27 Nov '25)

On the thrilling day of Thu, 27 Nov '25 UTC, Italy will challenge Iceland in the FIBA World Cup Qualification, Europe tournament. It’s time to dive into the quirky abyss of stats analysis and predictions to figure out which team might be worth your bet. Will the Italians rise like a shot of espresso, or will Iceland freeze them out faster than a summer’s day popsicle?

Let’s rewind the tape to the last six head-to-head clashes between these basketball titans. Both teams have been equally matched, with Italy and Iceland each grabbing four victories. It's all square in the ring, leaving fans on a knife’s edge, wondering who might tip the scales this time around. Their most recent skirmish took place on Sat, 02 Aug '25. Italy, playing the gracious host, dribbled to an 87-61 victory over Iceland, leaving the visitors feeling chillier than a dip in an Icelandic lagoon.

A deep dive into their last encounter’s data shows an oddly symmetrical showdown. Both squads achieved a spectacular 0% in both free throws and three-pointers – which is only impressive if they were aiming for a record on missing! Alas, both displayed perfectly matched defense skills as well, with each team grabbing a whopping zero rebounds. Turnovers were an entertaining non-event, balancing perfectly at zero each. Who knew basketball games could be so zen?

Now, how are our teams faring on their road to this face-off? Italy, gliding over from a narrow 77-84 defeat by Slovenia, might just be looking to wrap that loss in a cozy checkered blanket and tuck it far away from prying minds. On the other hand, Iceland arrives licking their wounds after a 74-114 handling by the French squad – perhaps they spent more time watching the Eiffel Tower than their opponents' fast breaks!

With all these stats and gallant, albeit hilarious, performances, it appears the Italians might have the edge, ready to serve an Icelandic ice-cream scoop of disappointment. So, all bets lean towards Italy taking this one, poised to twirl their way across the court in triumph while Iceland tries to thaw off the bench. But hey, stranger things have happened!
