France vs Iceland

, KO: 19:45 , Parc des Princes
Iceland

France and Iceland will face off in a World Cup qualifier at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday night.

Both nations will be looking to build on the opening night victories that they each recorded on Friday night.

France got their campaign up and running by putting in a professional display to claim a 2-0 victory over Ukraine on matchday one.

Didier Deschamps' side will now look to take early control of Group D by putting Iceland to the sword in Paris this midweek.

As for Arnar Gunnlaugsson’s team, they made a dream start in their quest for World Cup qualification with a 5-0 annihilation of Azerbaijan last time out.

While Iceland will take plenty of confidence from that victory, they now face an early acid-test of their qualification aspirations when they pit their wits against star-studded France on matchday two.

How the bookies view it: Three points for France

Given the gulf in quality between the two squads, it’s no surprise to see France as firm favourites with the bookies on Tuesday night, with a home success as short as 1/12 on Boylesports.

Iceland are a whopping 25/1 on Boylesports to spring a shock in the French capital while a point apiece at the Parc des Princes is also considered improbable at 9/1 with the same firm.

Head to head: History favours the hosts

The two nations have previously locked horns on five occasions, with France triumphing in four of those contests while the other encounter ended all square.

Players to watch: Mbappe to make his mark?

Kylian Mbappe made the net bulge against Ukraine on Friday night but he is too short to side with here for an anytime strike at 2/5 on Bet365. However, merging an Mbappe goal and BTTS No will bring about an eye-catching 11/10 shot on Bet365.

After bagging a brace against Azerbaijan on matchday one, Isak Bergmann Johannesson looks well worthy of consideration for a speculative punt in the anytime goalscorer market on Tuesday night at 18/1 on Bet365.

Predicted line-ups

Ousmane Dembele suffered a hamstring injury against Ukraine on Friday night, and it has since been reported that the PSG ace is now facing up to six weeks on the sidelines.

Following Friday night’s five-star performance against Azerbaijan, Iceland boss Gunnlaugsson could stick with the same starting XI in Paris on Tuesday night.

France: Maignan; Kounde, Upamecano, Konate, Digne; Tchouameni, Kone; Olise, Doue, Barcola; Mbappe

Iceland: Olafsson; Palsson, Gretarsson, Ingason, Ellertsson; Thordarsson, Willumsson, Haraldsson; A Gudmundsson, Gudjohnsen, Thorsteinsson

Anything else catch the eye?

France boss Deschamps is known for his pragmatic playing style, so backing the hosts to win either 1-0, 2-0 or 3-0 looks worthy of support at 6/4 on PaddyPower.

Each of France's last three victories across all competitions have arrived by one of the above-mentioned scorelines, including Friday night’s 2-0 success against Ukraine.

France won each half of the game against Ukraine on Friday and a repeat here holds appeal at 4/5 on Boylesports.
