France vs Iceland Prediction (09.09.2025)

France returns home, where they did not concede a goal in their last three home games and defeated Croatia 2-0 in the last of them. They started the World Cup qualifiers with a similar performance, winning 2-0 away against Ukraine on Friday. Naturally, they are expected to win again and justify their role as favorites in the group. Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué have left the team's camp, but Deschamps still has enough other quality and comparable substitutes, and Mbappé is expected to lead the team again with the captain's armband.

Iceland has four losses in their last six matches, and they did not perform well overall in the last edition of the Nations League. However, they started the World Cup qualifiers with a convincing 5-0 win at home against Azerbaijan. This may inspire some confidence before the upcoming difficult visit, but it is unlikely to be enough for anything more than an honorable loss here. Historically, in eight visits to France, they have only one draw and seven losses, with the draw being in a friendly match.

It is normal to expect a victory for France here, and my suggestion is that it will be a clean sheet for the French, who have recently struggled to concede goals on their home ground. Yes, Iceland scored five goals, but against Azerbaijan, while now it is clear that scoring in Paris will be a much tougher task.
