France vs Iceland Prediction & Betting Tips - Euro
by Daniel Ngulu | in Euro Predictions
Iceland and France are early front runners in Group H of the European Cup qualifiers after opening wins on Friday. Iceland saw off Andorra 2 – 0 while France were 4 – 1 winner over Moldova, with both sides playing away from home. Looking at their Day One opponents, this clash is bound to be tougher for both sides, but more so for Iceland, who will be facing the world champions at their backyard. Iceland have made a name for themselves by their grit and ability to churn out results against bigger teams. They did it at France 2016 and they have always carried that air of the giant killer. However, their win over Andorra is the first in 16 matches. They have a better run in Euro Cup qualification matches though; in their last 15, they have managed eight wins and in the last six qualifiers away from home they have won four. France on the other hand have lost just two of their last 26 matches, to Netherlands and Colombia – very strong opponents. By virtue of being hosts in the last tournament, France didn’t take part in the qualifiers and as they return to the qualifiers, they have not lost any qualifier for European Cup, the last 10 matches. In the last 16 Euro Cup qualifiers at home, they have lost just two, drawn one and won 13.

Our France vs Iceland Prediction
France and Iceland played to a 2 – 2 draw in their most recent meeting, a friendly match but this one will have a different approach with both sides seeking the early advantage in the qualifiers. Both sides picked wins in the opening matches and we expect that France will be all out in attacking mode while Iceland will be more defensive. We expect a win for France but it will be slim, perhaps a 2 – 1 score line.
