Betting tips – France vs Iceland – 03.07.2016
France and Iceland will be face to face in the last Quarter Final at EURO 2016. The kick off is set at 20:00, UK Time, and there is a clear favourite at the bookmakers.
The French team is in pole-position, as expected, but they failed to impress so much so far. To be more precise, they defeated Romania and Albania in group-stage, but they struggled a lot, getting three points after late goals in each game. When it comes about last 16 round, France had big problems against Ireland too, being one goal down after 45 minutes. They needed a very good second half and Griezmann did the job, scoring twice.
Iceland are the most surprising side at EURO 2016 so far, reaching the Quarter Finals after a very good run. They finished second in their group, with five points and undefeated, above Portugal and Austria. Icelanders defeated Austria in the last game of group-stage, while they eliminated England in the previous round of the tournament, winning 2-1, after conceding an early goal from the penalty spot.
France vs Iceland probable lineups:
France (4-3-3): Lloris – Sagna, Umtiti, Koscielny, Evra – Pogba, Cabaye, Matuidi – Griezmann, Giroud, Payet.
Iceland (4-4-2): Halldorsson – Saevarsson, Arnason, Sigurdsson, Skulason – Gudmundsson, Gunnarsson, Sigurdsson, Bjarnason – Bodvarsson, Sigthorsson.
France vs Iceland prediction: 1 @ 1.44
