Current form
France is predictably leading Group D after three rounds, with a maximum of nine points. Didier Deschamps' team started with a 2-0 victory in Ukraine. Then they beat Iceland with difficulty (2:1), and almost lost points in the end due to being eliminated, and confidently dealt with Azerbaijan (3:0). It cannot be said that all the victories of the French were dominant, injuries to the offensive line players are affecting, and they will still play without Mbappe. Even with the great opportunities for rotation, it's still not so easy to set up a game right away without leaders.

25.00Tip and bets
The hosts are in a difficult position after three rounds, but they still have a chance of finishing in second position. The Icelanders have nothing much to lose today, with a high degree of probability, as in previous matches, they will play boldly in attack, especially since in the first round they hit the gates of the upcoming opponent, they were even close to a draw. France's squad is far from optimal right now, but even with all its problems, Deschamps' team scored at least two goals in the qualifying tournament. We believe that the game will be open and the opponents will be pleased with the abundance of goals scored.
Our betting tip is a total of more than three goals for a coefficient of 1.76
Betting on the outcome
Iceland strives to play bold attacking football, but the defense is not reliable, as the Ukrainians clearly demonstrated in the previous match. With such outright failures, it will be difficult today to put up something against an opponent who is superior in class.
The second bet is the victory of France with a handicap (-1.5) with a coefficient of 1.68
A bet on yellow cards
The first round match between the rivals turned out to be stubborn, there were a lot of emotions and struggles. It is not surprising that the referee showed five yellow cards at once, and Tchuameni also got a red card. We expect that there will be at least three warnings today.
The betting tip is that the total number of yellow cards is more than 2.5 with a coefficient of 1.51
