Iceland hosts France in round 7 of the Euro qualification. The match will be played on Friday, October 11th at Laugardalsvöllur (Reykjavík)
Iceland, having three wins in five matches with one draw until the last round, took 2nd place in the group and had very bright prospects. But just the last round may well become fatal for the Vikings. They lost in Albania (2-4) and passed Turkey forward. By the way, they beat it at home. Now if Iceland wants to have a chance to outrank this very Turkey (or France as an option), which is now leading in the group, this very France must be beaten here and now. Is it real? No.

There were already many surprises in this qualification. But the closer the finish, the more consistent the results with the participation of the favorites will be - of course, if these favorites need something else, and they have not guaranteed a ticket to the Euro yet. France needs. It didn’t guarantee this ticket. The French share first place with Turkey with an equal number of points. As I said before, Iceland is behind at a distance of 3 points. If the French team wants to escape from hassle in the last three rounds, they just need to take 3 points here and finally rid Iceland of thoughts about Euro 2020.
And France will take these 3 points. It will not be easy, and the Icelanders will push, play on the verge of a foul and put pressure on the world champions. But then they are the champions, who would competently build the game, exhaust the hosts with short passes and other football tricks (Iceland is an aged team) and bring Griezmann, Giroud, Ikone, Lemar or Ben Yedder to the shooting position. The world champions gave the Icelanders a master class on the home pitch, having beaten them with a 4-0 score. Perhaps this score will not repeat, but Deschamps and his team will probably take their 3 points to the mainland. Opponents have met 14 times in history. Iceland never won and lost in 10 matches.
Prediction for the match: France to win
