Both Nigeria and Iceland are on winless runs in their last five matches; Nigeria have lost four and drawn one in the last five matches and they have notably been poor in both defence and attack in the five matches, conceding eight goals and scoring two. Nigeria have in fact, lost five of their last six matches and kept just two clean sheets in their last 10 matches. In their last 13 World Cup matches, they have won just once. When it comes to playing at the World Cup stage, Nigeria are more experienced than Iceland, this being the sixth World Cup tournament for the West Africans. They have played 19 World Cup matches, winning five. Iceland, who are ranked 22nd in the world, will not be bothered so much with Nigeria’s experience at this level, especially after standing their ground against Lionel Messi and Argentina. They pulled big shocks in Euro 2016, beating Austria and England but ahead of this game they need to improve, after a run of two draws and three losses in their last five matches, scoring six goals and conceding 12. Just like Nigeria, Iceland also have two clean sheets in their last 10 matches and have lost four in the process.
