However, the small island nation in the northernmost capital of the world would now have to come for the very first victory ever against the reigning world champion, which the Icelanders have never been able to defeat in 14 encounters so far. But: Right at home in Reykjavik, Erik Hamrén’s team has proven to be hard to beat.
Iceland may be led against France, according to bookmakers’ odds, as a blatant outsider. However, before this assessment is blindly agreed, one should let the home record of the Vikings briefly melt on the tongue.
Of the last nine competitive matches played in Reykjavik in the European Championship 2020 and 2016 qualifying rounds, the Icelandic national football team has not lost a single game (seven wins, two draws). Among them, there were victories against the Netherlands or Turkey, which plays a role in Iceland against France for the prediction quite a role.
So it makes little sense to bet on the very small odds on the away win of the Equipe Tricolore that just “Les Bleus” break through this series. Therefore, we recommend to play Tip 1 against Islang against France and to additionally secure this via “Draw No Bet”.
Iceland – Statistics & Current Form
As many as seven regular players are missing the Icelandic national football team, which means that the start of the next two qualifiers at a very unfavorable time. A defeat by France could increase the gap to second place to six in three games before the end of the qualifying round in a simultaneous tripartite Turkey against Albania.
With only three games left, the qualification for the European Championship 2020 would be a long way off – at least over the traditional way. Four seats are known to be awarded in 2020 through the Nations League play-off games, although this would be just a straw.
Brisant is how national coach Erik Hamrén responded to the failures. With Birkir Bjarnason and Emil Hallfredsson, the Swede reactivated two players without any adversaries, who are currently without a club. Nominations that are controversial in the Icelandic press.
A possible signal for the players behind it could eventually be that a use in their own clubs or the Icelandic league, from which again only two players have found their way into the squad, not worthwhile. Neither Bjarnason nor Hallfredsson can finally rely on the game rhythm.
“It is important that we win against Andorra. Against France we will do everything we can to get one point or maybe even three. Iceland has never won against France, but maybe the time is right. ” – Erik Hamrén with Hilmar Stefánsson
Nevertheless, it would be wrong to write off the Icelandic national football team prematurely, although a tip on Vikings’ next home win over Iceland is unlikely to prove highly probable.
But: In the European Championship qualifier Iceland lost not one of his last nine home games in Reykjavik (seven wins, two draws) and also struck in the current group stage in Group H in the form of leaders Turkey (2-1) again a top team , As a reminder: The Turks had retraced a 2-0 victory against France just three days before the defeat in Reykjavik at home.
Although Erik Hamrén emphasizes that it is mainly on Monday to score a trip to Andorra at home, but it should be clear that the Vikings also need something countable against the Equipe Tricolore in order to get through again.
And after all: Although Iceland has never won against France in 14 duels, already 20 years ago in Reykjavik they received an Équipe Tricolore, who came to the northernmost capital of the world as a new world champion – and did not get over a draw there …
Expected formation of Iceland:
↳ Halldorsson – Skúlason – Sigurdsson – Árnason – Hermannsson – Hallfredsson – Gudmundsson – Bjarnason – Sigurjónsson – Sigurdsson – Bödvarsson

France – Statistics & Current Form
Six games, five wins, 19: 4 goals. Actually, the record of the reigning World Champion and Vice European Champion in Group H reads very well. However, they are currently only in second place, which is because “Les Bleus” suffered a 2-0 defeat in Turkey on Matchday 3, which is currently leading the table.
Accordingly, this international break for the Équipe Tricolore, which must first compete abroad in Iceland and next Monday then at home against Turkey. If the selection of Didier Deschamps scores six points, the European Championship 2020 should be in the towel.
If instead only one point or no points would jump out, a starting position for the European Championship would be temporarily over and France would have to hope for a slip-up of the competition.
“Iceland is a two-faced team that is more efficient at home than away. They bring an athletic density, a very direct game and a lot of commitment. Above all, we need to be aware of standard situations where they are very effective. At home you have an extra soul. ” – Didier Deschamps at L’Equipe
All the more annoying for Didier Deschamps that even in the Équipe Tricolore the hospital has become increasingly full in recent days and weeks. In addition to key players such as captain Hugo Lloris (Tottenham) are also missing star striker Kylian Mbappé (PSG), Benjamin Mendy (Manchester City), Samuel Umtiti (FC Barcelona) and Paul Pogba (Manchester United). Bitter also that “Les Bleus” now have just offended with Bayern Munich.
The German record champion had to turn off four internationals. Including Corentin Tolisso, Kingsley Coman and Benjamin Pavard also Lucas Hernandez, who is currently injured, but did not want to do without the Didier Deschamps, because so much is at stake this week. Practically every day, one of the two now hardened fronts appears with swipes on the other side, which should not be of much use to both.
Although the odds of bookmakers against Iceland are clearly in the direction of the Equipe Tricolore, the team is still so severely weakened that names like Wissam Ben Yedder (Monaco), Jonathan Ikoné (Lille) and Alassane Pléa ( Gladbach) had to be nominated.
The fact that now also comes from a loud external noise, of course, emanating from Bayern, with four players exactly as many players shut down as the entire French Ligue 1 added together, makes the mission “get six points and solve the Euro 2020 ticket” everything other than a self-runner. Instead, the reigning world champion is facing a real maturity exam.
Expected formation of France:
↳ Areola – Varane – Digne – Kimpembe – Pavar – Kanté – Tolisso – Sissoko – Matuidi – Griezmann – Giroud
Last matches of France:
⚽️ 10.09.2019 – France vs. Andorra 3: 0 (European Championship Qualification)
⚽️ 07.09.2019 – France vs. Albania 4: 1 (European Championship Qualification)
⚽️ 11.06.2019 – Andorra Vs. France 0: 4 (European Championship Qualification)

Iceland vs France Direct Comparison
Head to head: 0 – 4 – 10
There have been a total of 14 clashes between Iceland and France so far, and as we have said many times, the Icelandic national football team has not won any of these 14 games. Only four draws are recorded. The remaining ten matches all won the reigning World Champion. So also the first leg in Saint-Denis on Matchday 2 with a clear 4: 0.
But: home in Reykjavik Iceland has already played four times draw against the Equipe Tricolore. All four draws are among the last five home matches. Only in the qualifier for the 1992 European Championships could France win in Reykjavik just 2: 1 away.
Iceland vs France Best Soccer Predictions and Odds Provided by PickSoccer Experts
In Iceland against France, the prediction is influenced by a total of three factors. Firstly, the fact that the home advantage of a nation is as small as that of the Vikings, who lost none of the last nine European qualifiers in Reykjavik.
Secondly, it is the factor that the reigning world champion has to do without a number of key players, which, to make matters worse, extend to every single part of the team.
Third, the medial mudslide between France and FC Bayern should not have passed without a trace on the players. After all, four of the 23 players Didier Deschamps has nominated are under contract with the German champions.
In short: It is possible that “Les Bleus” in Iceland shows a defiance reaction. But it is equally possible that the combination of these three factors favors a small sensation.
