Iceland takes on the visitors Croatia at “Rostov Arena” in the gameweek three of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia group stage. The match will be played in Rostov on Tuesday, June 26th.
Iceland badly needs a victory to save their chances to promote further in the tournament. However, to do that the Icelanders have to make more than three shots on target like in the fight against Nigeria. The Africans succeeded in that battle because of the great physical conditions and better aerial play. As it can be seen, after a goal conceded Iceland didn’t know what to do which the evidence of that the side has no plan B. The team spends much time in attack, but scores not frequently.

Croatia has already secured itself a place in the Play Offs from the first position in the group, thus, they can let the leaders to take a rest – just like the Russians did, try another tactics and focus on the 1/8 final stage. Although the Croatians will probably test their reserve squad in the upcoming tackle, still, I believe that the footballers will do their best to draw the head-coach’s attention to themselves as they are extremely strong performers. Thus, I expect them to compete on equal with the Icelanders.
The forthcoming encounter promises to be quite equal, but with not many goals scored in it. In fact, seven out of last 10 encounters with the participation of Iceland were finished in less than 2.5 goals combined, including the game against Argentina.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
