There is a favorite team, and it couldn’t be otherwise. Didier Deschamps’ squad, runners-up in the World Cup, will take another three points in these qualifiers for the next World Cup after their good debut away against Ukraine. Three points that will be easy, very easy, against Iceland.
For this reason, namely the difference in quality between the two teams taking to the field, we are only selecting French players. Yes, we expect a one-sided match in favor of the team coached by the former Juventus midfielder and coach. Without further ado, let’s see what might happen.
Iceland-France predictions, our choices
Assault, we said. And in the assault there is Mbappé. The Real Madrid striker should return to scoring in front of his home crowd in a match where the final result is not and will never be in question. A player we all know and for whom we no longer write anything. In short, the choice is a sure thing in this case.
As for shots on goal, Rabiot should return to the starting lineup in midfield, and against a team that is not particularly complicated, the Milan midfielder should be able to get at least one shot on target. Finally, injuries to Dembele and Doue force Deschamps to make some choices up front. So Olise and Barcola should play on the front line. Young and strong, these players need no introduction. We expect them to get at least two shots on target during the match. In short, the choices have been made.
