Against Ukraine on Friday night in arguably the most important match of their campaign so far with second place still up for grabs, they succumbed to a 3-5 defeat. That was made all the more disappointing by the fact they had come back to draw level at 3-3 despite going down 3-1 in the first half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">France are enjoying a comfortable qualifying campaign so far, winning all three of their games with few issues. In fact, the most difficult game they&#8217;ve faced so far was in the reverse of this fixture, where they came back from Andri Gudjohnsen&#8217;s opener to win 2-1 thanks to goals from Kylian Mbappe and Bradley Barcola.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Les Bleus opened their campaign with a 0-2 victory over Ukraine in Poland and continued their perfect start on Friday night with a 3-0 win over Azerbaijan thanks to goals from Kylian Mbappe, Adrien Rabiot and Florian Thauvin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-france-team-news\">France team news<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">France remain without Aurelien Tchouameni as he misses the second game of his two-game ban for the red card he received in the reverse fixture in Paris last month.  Bradley Barcola, Marcus Thuram and Ousmane Dembele are all missing through injury but les Bleus can still call upon the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Michael Olise and Hugo Ekitike in the final third.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-iceland-team-news\">Iceland team news<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Defenders Hlynur Freyr Karlsson and Kolbeinn Finnsson have missed out on this Iceland squad through injury as well as Malmo midfielder Arnor Sigurdsson. The biggest miss however for boss Arnar Gunnlaugsson will be skipper Orri \u00d3skarsson, who hasn&#8217;t played for his club Real Sociedad since August but who scored in each of his last two outings for his country, both back in the March international break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-iceland-vs-france-head-to-head\">Iceland vs France Head-to-Head<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>03 Jul 2016<\/td><td>France 5-2 Iceland<\/td><td>UEFA European Championship<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>11 Oct 2018<\/td><td>France 2-2 Iceland<\/td><td>International Friendly<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>25 Mar 2019<\/td><td>France 4-0 Iceland<\/td><td>UEFA European Championship<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>11 Oct 2019<\/td><td>Iceland 0-1 France<\/td><td>UEFA European Championship<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>09 Sep 2025<\/td><td>France 2-1 Iceland<\/td><td>FIFA World Cup<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">France&#8217;s qualification looks like it&#8217;s a matter of when not if as they sit on three wins from three, with a five point gap over second place and only three games remaining. Given that they&#8217;ve never lost in their 16 previous meetings with Iceland, they&#8217;ll expect to make it four from four here, even if they&#8217;re likely to concede given that Strakarnir Okkar have looked threatening in front of goal all season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kylian Mbappe is always the main goal threat for les Bleus however and having opened the scoring in his nation&#8217;s last two games to take his international tally to 53 goals, he&#8217;ll be confident of getting another goal in this game on Monday night.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/\"><strong>Latest football news<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football betting tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best betting sites<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/best-free-bet-offers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best free bet offers<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/accumulator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football accumulator tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>France could secure their spot at the 2026 World Cup on Monday night if they are able to beat Iceland in this World Cup Qualifier, which kicks off at 7.45pm BST at Laugardalsvollur.
