Football results are difficult to predict but all the research in the world couldn't explain how Iceland led France 2-0 away on Thursday. The game ended 2-2 in the end but France are champions of the world and Iceland had lost their last two games by an aggregate of 9-0. Iceland have lost both of their UEFA Nations League games losing 6-0 in Switzerland and then a 3-0 home loss to Belgium so their chances of winning the group are pretty slim and their -9 goal difference is going to make suriving relegation even more difficult unless they can get at least four points from their last two matches and that includes a trip to Belgium. They may have drawn with France but have conceded at least twice in nine of their last ten matches, the only team failing to do so being Argentina at the World Cup. Home form has seen Iceland go five without a win and they will need to cause another surprise here.

Switzerland topped the table on goal difference after the first set of games but then lost 2-1 away to Belgium and need to get a win from this match to regain top spot. They have lost their last two internationals,having lost a friendly to England inbetween the two UEFA Nations League matches. Switzerland have only won two of their last seven games but have earned draws with both Brazil and Spain this year. A bet on over 2.5 goals is the tip for this match.
