The Icelandic national team is one of the positive phenomena in recent years. After years of irrelevance, the team was able to make a splash at the European Championship 2016 for the first time, and not just because of their spectacular fans. Already the qualification for it was a great sensation, but then there to retire until the quarterfinals did not even think the biggest fans of the team. By a very effective game, they were able to prevail both in the group, as well as in the second round against the rave favorites from England.

A year ago, they even took part in the World Cup, but had to pack their bags there after the preliminary round. In this qualification they will probably fight with Turkey for the important 2nd place and at the moment the gap is 3 points. 4 of 6 games were won and the goal difference stands at 10: 9 goals. The first defeat was suffered abroad in France. The second one was not played until the last matchday in Albania, which also explains the gap to Turkey. The defensive is not stable yet, even if you could finish 3 of the 4 wins without conceding. Both against Albania, as well as against France, it set equal 4 goals. Her biggest star is certainly Gylfi Sigurdsson who works at club level at Everton in the Premier League. It is up to him to recall the positive trend in recent games, as 3 of the last 4 games have been won.

Can the French finally secure the championship lead?

Free soccer predictions

France is arguably the best national team in the world right now, and not just because they secured the world championship title last year. Already in 2016, they were in the finals of the European Championship 2016, but at that time they still had to beat the Portuguese. What impresses the team is above all the individual class and the width of the squad. Well-known players like Paul Pogba, Antoine Griezmann, Ngolo Kante or Kylian Mbappe are just some of the international players.

Free soccer picks

Unlike many other teams, however, they also manage to bring that quality to the field. The main responsible for this success is the coach Didier Deschamps. For seven years now, the Frenchman is on the sidelines and played 96 games. 62 of them could be won and he had to take only 17 defeats. This year 6 out of 7 games were won and only against Turkey they lost 2-0 at home. However, this defeat is also responsible for the second place in the qualification group. The remaining 5 games could all be won and you have a goal difference of 19: 4 goals. With a victory over Iceland, you could take over the league standings, with a defeat even slipping to third place.

Free soccer picks

The record against Iceland, however, speaks a clear language and in 14 clashes you had yet to take a defeat. 4 of the last 5 duels were won and only in a friendly match in 2018 you did not get past a 2: 2 at home. One thing is also for sure in this duel and these are many goals. Over the past 5 matches, more than 3.5 goals have been scored in the game.

 

Bet Tip and Forecast

Free soccer picks

For both teams this game is about a lot, but there are only 4 games left. We appreciate the French here a little stronger, which is also due to the individual quality. In addition, the previous balance of the two teams speaks a clear language. For a tip 2, you will still get quite attractive odds and therefore can recommend this calmed down. Another alternative is a tip on over 2.5 goals. With this bet tip you would have always made a profit in the last 5 duels.

Four games to go before the end of the qualifying round, in Group H everything is possible. There are only six points difference between the first placed Turkey and the fourth ranked Albania. In between, the Icelanders, who could equal home points in Reykjavik with second-placed France.

However, the small island nation in the northernmost capital of the world would now have to come for the very first victory ever against the reigning world champion, which the Icelanders have never been able to defeat in 14 encounters so far. But: Right at home in Reykjavik, Erik Hamrén's team has proven to be hard to beat.

 

Iceland may be led against France, according to bookmakers' odds, as a blatant outsider. However, before this assessment is blindly agreed, one should let the home record of the Vikings briefly melt on the tongue.

Free soccer picks

Of the last nine competitive matches played in Reykjavik in the European Championship 2020 and 2016 qualifying rounds, the Icelandic national football team has not lost a single game (seven wins, two draws). Among them, there were victories against the Netherlands or Turkey, which plays a role in Iceland against France for the forecast quite a role.

Free soccer picks

So it makes little sense to bet on the very small odds on the away win of the Equipe Tricolore that just "Les Bleus" break through this series. Therefore, we recommend to play Tip 1 against Islang against France and to additionally secure this via "Draw No Bet".

 

 Iceland - Statistics & Current Form

Free soccer predictions

As many as seven regular players are missing the Icelandic national football team, which means that the start of the next two qualifiers at a very unfavorable time. A defeat by France could increase the gap to second place to six in three games before the end of the qualifying round in a simultaneous tripartite Turkey against Albania.

 

With only three games left, the qualification for the European Championship 2020 would be a long way off - at least over the traditional way. Four seats are known to be awarded in 2020 through the Nations League play-off games, although this would be just a straw.

Brisant is how national coach Erik Hamrén responded to the failures. With Birkir Bjarnason and Emil Hallfredsson, the Swede reactivated two players without any adversaries, who are currently without a club. Nominations that are controversial in the Icelandic press.

A possible signal for the players behind it could eventually be that a use in their own clubs or the Icelandic league, from which again only two players have found their way into the squad, not worthwhile. Neither Bjarnason nor Hallfredsson can finally rely on the game rhythm.

"It is important that we win against Andorra. Against France we will do everything we can to get one point or maybe even three. Iceland has never won against France, but maybe the time is right. "

Erik Hamrén with Hilmar Stefánsson

 

Nevertheless, it would be wrong to write off the Icelandic national football team prematurely, although a tip on Vikings' next home win over Iceland is unlikely to prove highly probable.

Free soccer picks

But: In the European Championship qualifier Iceland lost not one of his last nine home games in Reykjavik (seven wins, two draws) and also struck in the current group stage in Group H in the form of leaders Turkey (2-1) again a top team , As a reminder: The Turks had retraced a 2-0 victory against France just three days before the defeat in Reykjavik at home.

 

Although Erik Hamrén emphasizes that it is mainly on Monday to score a trip to Andorra at home, but it should be clear that the Vikings also need something countable against the Equipe Tricolore in order to get through again.

Free soccer picks

And after all: Although Iceland has never won against France in 14 duels, already 20 years ago in Reykjavik they received an Équipe Tricolore, who came to the northernmost capital of the world as a new world champion - and did not get over a draw there .

Six games, five wins, 19: 4 goals. Actually, the record of the reigning World Champion and Vice European Champion in Group H reads very well. However, they are currently only in second place, which is because "Les Bleus" suffered a 2-0 defeat in Turkey on Matchday 3, which is currently leading the table.

 

Accordingly, this international break for the Équipe Tricolore, which must first compete abroad in Iceland and next Monday then at home against Turkey. If the selection of Didier Deschamps scores six points, the European Championship 2020 should be in the towel.

Free soccer predictions

If instead only one point or no points would jump out, a starting position for the European Championship would be temporarily over and France would have to hope for a slip-up of the competition.

"Iceland is a two-faced team that is more efficient at home than away. They bring an athletic density, a very direct game and a lot of commitment. Above all, we need to be aware of standard situations where they are very effective. At home you have an extra soul. "

Didier Deschamps at L'Equipe

Free soccer predictions

All the more annoying for Didier Deschamps that even in the Équipe Tricolore the hospital has become increasingly full in recent days and weeks. In addition to key players such as captain Hugo Lloris (Tottenham) are also missing star striker Kylian Mbappé (PSG), Benjamin Mendy (Manchester City), Samuel Umtiti (FC Barcelona) and Paul Pogba (Manchester United). Bitter also that "Les Bleus" now have just offended with Bayern Munich.

Free soccer picks

The German record champion had to turn off four internationals. Including Corentin Tolisso, Kingsley Coman and Benjamin Pavard also Lucas Hernandez, who is currently injured, but did not want to do without the Didier Deschamps, because so much is at stake this week. Practically every day, one of the two now hardened fronts appears with swipes on the other side, which should not be of much use to both.

 

Although the odds of bookmakers against Iceland are clearly in the direction of the Equipe Tricolore, the team is still so severely weakened that names like Wissam Ben Yedder (Monaco), Jonathan Ikoné (Lille) and Alassane Pléa ( Gladbach) had to be nominated.

Free soccer picks

The fact that now also comes from a loud external noise, of course, emanating from Bayern, with four players exactly as many players shut down as the entire French Ligue 1 added together, makes the mission "get six points and solve the EM ticket" everything other than a self-runner. Instead, the reigning world champion is facing a real maturity exam.

 Iceland vs. France Direct Comparison

 

Head to head: 0 - 4 - 10

Free soccer picks

There have been a total of 14 clashes between Iceland and France so far, and as we have said many times, the Icelandic national football team has not won any of these 14 games. Only four draws are recorded. The remaining ten matches all won the reigning World Champion. So also the first leg in Saint-Denis on Matchday 2 with a clear 4: 0.

Free soccer predictions

But: home in Reykjavik Iceland has already played four times draw against the Equipe Tricolore. All four draws are among the last five home matches. Only in the qualifier for the 1992 European Championships could France win in Reykjavik just 2: 1 away.

 

 Iceland vs. France Tipp & Prognosis - 11.10.2019

 

In Iceland against France, the forecast is influenced by a total of three factors. Firstly, the fact that the home advantage of a nation is as small as that of the Vikings, who lost none of the last nine European qualifiers in Reykjavik.

Free soccer picks

Secondly, it is the factor that the reigning world champion has to do without a number of key players, which, to make matters worse, extend to every single part of the team. From Lloris (goal) to Umtiti (central defense) and Pogba (midfield) to Mbappé (storm).

Free soccer picks

Third, the medial mudslide between France and FC Bayern should not have passed without a trace on the actors. After all, four of the 23 players Didier Deschamps has nominated are under contract with the German champions.

 

In short: It is possible that "Les Bleus" in Iceland shows a defiance reaction. But it is equally possible that the combination of these three factors favors a small sensation.

Key Facts - Iceland vs. France tip

Free soccer predictions

  • Iceland have not lost one of their last nine European Championship qualifiers at home (seven wins, two draws)

  • France has never lost to Iceland (ten wins, four draws)

  • In the first leg, France won at home in Saint-Denis clear 4-0

 

Because the ratio of risk, probability of occurrence, consideration of contingencies and overall profitability is correct, we therefore recommend tapping Tip 1 against Iceland.

Free soccer picks

Should the Equipe Tricolore also fall behind, which can happen against the Vikings, which are very strong in standards, they should already be satisfied with the draw in case of doubt, with which the gap would be maintained. We therefore hedge the bet at the expense of the odds with the "Draw No Bet".

 

For tip 1 (DNB) odds of up to 5.80 are available on Iceland vs France. Because it remains an outsider bet, we leave it with two units bet.

Icelanders and French are among Turkey's major players in the fight for Euro travel, which is why the personal meeting of the teams should be very intense.

 

Iceland

Free soccer predictions

The Northerners with twelve points so far occupy third place in the group and are three points behind their main rivals - Turkey and France. In a previous international break, the team has seriously complicated their lives with a 2-4 away defeat by Albania. Not only did the game push the Icelanders back against the leaders of the group, but also added another rival - the same Albanians who had won a home win by nine points and a victory for the Icelanders. The previous game with the French was for the Vikings completely unsuccessful - they were defeated 4-0 and had no tangible chances of success. It is clear that the level and choice of players among rivals varies dramatically and it certainly is not worth putting them in the same rank. Meetings in Iceland, however, can be difficult for the big names in international football.

Free soccer picks

The Icelanders in relation to the fall, Alfred Finnbogason took shape, who began again to play regularly for Augsburg, but whether he will be in the face of the recent successes of Sigthorsson at the start, is a question. The rest of the team does not change too much. The injury of Gunnarsson leads to problems in the middle of the field, but it is unlikely that the hosts will lose in the match with the favorites of the tight 4-5-1.

France

 

The team of Didier Deschamps is confident, if not without dropouts, but it is unlikely that anyone in the camp of the French doubts the entry into the euro. While the current world champions are unable to break away from their competitors from a safe distance and even achieve a clean first place. The reason for this is primarily the away defeat against Turkey, which does not lose much points in other encounters with outsiders of the group and at the same time shares the first place with tricolors. For a trip to Iceland, the team must concentrate fully, as the loss of points for the French is now undesirable. In a recent meeting with Iceland, Deschamp's stations have shown they can outdo the opponent in every way. But in an away meeting this must be proven again.

Free soccer picks

The guests have noticeable losses in the composition. Injuries went to Hugo Lloris and Kilian Mbappe - these types are primarily worth mentioning. Areola is expected at the gate, and instead of Mbappa, Plea, called instead, will most likely take a seat on the bench. We expect the usual 4-2-3-1 from the French.

Free soccer predictions

I do not think the French can beat the Icelanders the way they did at home. Without Mbappe, with Griezmann not in the best condition, with inexperienced Ben Yedder and Plea as tips, it is doubtful. Icelanders are also confronted with their problems, even without the unconditional lack of class compared to the rival. The injury of Gunnarson hits the middle of the field because the clip of the team is not that impressive. I expect the French to score three points but in a grassroots match and a difficult game for both teams.

Strong-willed Icelanders

Free soccer picks

The entire football world already knows the phenomenon of the Icelanders, but the team will not stop there. The group in the Euro 2020 team came up against great difficulties, but Iceland is not used to it. Even before the last round, the islanders shared the lead with Turkey and France, but the 4-2 defeat against Albania brought the team to third place. Now, the task is extremely difficult for the Icelanders, because a defeat against the French will actually block the way to the euro. The team has to play to win against the World Champion, only then the chances of a pass are real.

Powerful French

 

The French team is a favorite of their group because the team is still world champion. Although the French are not without sin, Didier Deschamps has managed to get past this selection in a match against Turkey - 2-0, in all other games, the team celebrated a victory. Now France shares the first place with the Turks, but due to personal meetings, the second still takes place. France should be able to leave the group easily with its outstanding performance, but it seems that the team is missing a leader.

The current world champions are considered clear favorites, but it is still too early to congratulate the French for their victory. Everyone knows how hard it is to play in Iceland, many strong teams have lost here. France is now the team that can be beaten with disciplined football.
