Iceland vs France Team News

Iceland will be without Andri Gudjohnsen due to suspension, after he picked up his second yellow card of the group stage against Ukraine.

France will miss several key players, including Kylian Mbappé, who is injured. Marcus Thuram, Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué and Bradley Barcola are also sidelined with injuries. Florian Thauvin is expected to replace Mbappé, having scored from the bench in their last match.

Iceland vs France Prediction

  • Iceland were heading for a point against Ukraine in Group D on Friday night with the score tied at 3-3, but two late goals condemned Arnar Bergmann Gunnlaugsson's side to a 5-3 home defeat. The hosts are now in a concerning position as they attempt to overcome back-to-back defeats against the group's toughest opponents.
  • France will travel to Iceland without the services of star man Kylian Mbappe, but the Group D leaders got the job done against Azerbaijan on Friday night, cruising to a 3-0 win on home soil. Didier Deschamps' men have won all three of their World Cup qualifiers so far, and will expect to retain their 100% record on Monday.

Score Prediction: Iceland 0-3 France
