Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on France vs Iceland

France

Didier Deschamps' team won 2-0 away against Ukraine in their first match of the 2026 World Cup qualifying round and generally started their performance confidently. In the second half of the last match, the French could have easily conceded, but they still scored the second goal at the end of the game and deservedly took three points. It is important for the French team to consistently score points in order to take first place and directly qualify for the future World Cup, which means that in the next match, the Tricolors will be focused exclusively on a winning result. The support of their home fans should help them with this.

Iceland

The Icelanders unexpectedly beat Azerbaijan in the last match, scoring five unanswered goals into the opponent's goal on their home field. The Icelandic national team will almost certainly fight with Ukraine for the second position in Group D and such a crushing victory in the first game will definitely add confidence to the team before the next matches. Ahead of this team is an away match against the favorite of the quartet, in which the guests will need to come up with a special plan to achieve a positive result. The Icelanders will definitely play second fiddle and rely on counterattacks and set pieces in the lead.

Game Totals Prediction

The French team is rightly considered the favorite in the home match against Iceland, and losing points is definitely not in the plans of Didier Deschamps' men. On the other hand, the French defense was not very reliable in the first game, but the Icelanders showed great implementation of moments in the last match. In this case, I want to take a risk and make a bold bet on "both teams to score" for 2.59
