Football Livescore | Match Prediction & Tips
-----------------------------
France look to maintain their perfect start in Group D as they chase a fourth straight win in World Cup qualifying. Sitting comfortably at the top, they face an Iceland side fighting to stay in the playoff race. With pressure mounting on Iceland, this matchup carries significant weight for both teams.
Team Analysis:
Iceland’s campaign has stumbled after a strong start, with back-to-back defeats against France and Ukraine denting their playoff hopes. Despite never having beaten France, they seek an unlikely result to stay in contention. France, missing key stars like Mbappé, remain dominant and are firmly on track for another World Cup push.
Player Situation:
Iceland face France without key striker Andri Gudjohnsen, whose suspension leaves a notable gap up front. France are also dealing with several absences, including Kylian Mbappé and Ibrahima Konaté, both ruled out through injury. Despite the setbacks on both sides, France are expected to rely on their depth, with Adrien Rabiot likely keeping his place and Jean-Philippe Mateta possibly making his full debut.
Result Prediction:
Despite missing several key players, France are still expected to find a way through this challenging fixture. Deschamps may face a tougher test than anticipated, but his squad’s depth should carry them through. In the end, France remain favored to secure all three points.
Predicted Result: Iceland 1-2 France.
