World Cup 2018 Nigeria vs Iceland 22/06

Nigeria vs Iceland World Cup Prediction

Very valuable, Iceland proved that it was not by chance their brillarete in Euro 2016 or his qualification ahead of Croatia and made a very personalized game against Argentina and was in all fairness and even with some naturalness that tied with the Argentine team.

In front of Nigeria, desperate for points even more than Iceland, the Icelanders end up having a great window of opportunity to add the first triumph in this competition because Icelanders are very strong in the physical game and in the balls divided and none of the teams are a technical excellence, this can make all the difference.

In a closer analysis, it is worth highlighting the fact that doubts regarding the consistency of the Nigerian mark, Uzoho is far from being level with his predecessors and this can be well explored by the more direct and vertical style of Icelandic football, especially counting on the attack front with a player as useful as Finnbogason is, an expert in the aerial game and crucial to hold the ball to the incoming backs of Sigurdsson, Gunnarsson and Gislasion, essentially.

Another fragility that can make the balance for the Icelanders, it is the ability of the European team to press, Portugal to say so, and Nigeria have lost a lot of balls to play against Croatia, which is far from having the high-pressing ability of the Icelandic national team.

Prediction Nigeria vs Iceland:

Nigeria have confirmed their offensive opponents in the first game of the World Cup with only 2 goals scored in the last five matches and Nigeria’s generation change will not be made without some competitive setbacks and in that context, the greater matreirice and even cynicism of the Icelandic class can be definitive for the outcome of this game.
