Nigeria Iceland betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

In this game between Nigeria and Iceland, we will have face-to-face two teams that have faced very different paths to reach the World Cup, not only for Nigeria being an African team and Iceland being European, but for the quality of the opponents. Nigeria has faced much weaker teams than the ones faced by Iceland and this should be reflected on the pitch and Iceland will most likely score a goal in this match.

Preview
Nigeria and Iceland meet , in a match for this stage of the World Cup (Group Stage). These two teams have never met before, so this will be the first head‑to‑head between them.

Analysis Nigeria

They come to this 2nd round of Group D after a loss in their debut in this group stage, against Croatia, by (2‑0). Nigeria has won 4, tied 1 and lost 5 of the last 10 matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 8 times, but have turned the score around in 3.

The Nigerian national team has never managed to win a World Cup title, participating in only six editions and reaching the last 16 of the competition three times in 1994, 1998 and 2014. In the African qualifiers for the 2018 World Cup, the Nigerian side finished in the top of Group B, six points ahead of second-placed Zambia. Soon in their debut in the World Cup of Russia, the team lost to the talented national team of Croatia without scoring goals (by 2-0). In the last four friendlies that the Nigerians played before the 2018 World Cup, in addition to not winning none, in two of them the team suffered two goals. We believe that in this confrontation the Nigerian national team will again have much difficulty to hold the opposing attack and will end up suffering goals, since they will face a team that is better technically.

Confirmed Lineup: Francis Uzoho, Victor Moses, Bryan Idowu, Kenneth Omeruo, William Troost-Ekong, Leon Balogun, Wilfred Ndidi, Oghenekaro Etebo, John Mikel Obi, Kelechi Iheanacho, Ahmed Musa.

Analysis Iceland

They come to this 2nd round of Group D after a draw in their debut in this group stage, against Argentina, by (1‑1). In the last 10 matches Iceland has won 3, tied 3 and lost 4. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Iceland has won their World Cup qualification in a difficult way because they had to face good teams like Croatia, Ukraine, Turkey, Finland and Kosovo all in Group I. Iceland is making its first World Cup World participation in history, there is a lot of expectation about the Icelanders's performance at this World Cup, because Iceland's national team surprised everyone at Euro 2016 when they eliminated England in the Round of 16 and was eliminated only by the strong French side in the quarterfinals. Iceland has a good ball pass, a good collective game and a strong aerial game, already in the first game against Argentina showed their potential, conquering an important draw with one of the great national team of this Cup.

Confirmed Lineup: Hannes Þór Halldórsson, Birkir Már Sævarsson, Hörður Magnússon, Gylfi Sigurðsson, Kári Árnason, Aron Gunnarsson, Birkir Bjarnason, Rúrik Gíslason, Jón Daði Böðvarsson, Alfreð Finnbogason.
Coach: R. Sigurðsson.
