Nigeria v Iceland
Live on ITV. Kick-off 4:00pm
IT'S crunch time in the World Cup and this one features two teams where the result could have a critical impact on progression or failure; a win for the Nordic Icemen will see them melt Icelandic hearts and safe passage through to the knockout stages whilst the Super Eagles will be looking to avoid crash-landing with an early exit.
Outcomes have been incredibly hard to predict in this tournament but there's mileage in backing a 90 minute stalemate here and with so much at stake, I think both will find the back of the net.
Iceland have drawn their last 2 games and haven't actually won in 5 but they have scored in the last 4 successive matches – they showed once again that they certainly have tactics that work and for me have been one of the few teams who have really set out their style of play in that Argentinean opener.
Can Nigeria break them down? They certainly have the players to make an impact although it was a poor performance in their 2-0 defeat to a solid Croat side; Victor Moses racked up a few shots and they have to go for it here!
