Iceland hosts England in round 1 of the UEFA Nations League A. The match will be played on Saturday, September 5th at Laugardalsvöllur (Reykjavík)
The island team made a breakthrough in development in the seasons 2016-2018, but they cannot stay at the heights to which they climbed in the last two seasons. In the Euro qualification, Hamren's men took third place, leaving France and Turkey ahead of them. The team's defensive line suffers, and the Icelanders concede a lot from the tops. Matches with France and Belgium are direct evidence of this, and it will not be easier with the Englishmen.

Southgate created a great young team that very easily qualified for the Euro. It smashed everyone in a row, and the attack was unstoppable. It is clear that the players have not yet managed to get in shape due to the offseason, but the difference in class between the teams is so great that a thumping can happen in the upcoming game. The Englishmen are stronger than their opponents in all lines. Moreover, they remember the offensive defeat to the Islanders at the Euro in France - now there are all reasons to take revenge on them in full.
In addition to Iceland's victory at Euro 2016 (2-1), the British have a 6-1 home defeat back in 2004. Now there is every chance to achieve a confident victory as well. The class of the British is higher, while the Icelanders are generally on the decline, and the team of Southgate pleases with both the depth and the quality of the squad. Moreover, there is no order in the defense of the Icelanders for a long time, and they will leave free zones for the British, which the visitors must certainly use.
Prediction for the match: England to win with -1.0 handicap
