Iceland will try to recover from a heart-breaking 5-3 loss to Ukraine when they take on France in an eagerly-awaited World Cup qualifier. The Icelanders are eager to regain second plce in Group D, but they will have a mountain to climb against the star-studded visiting side. With Benfica midfielder Georgiy Sudakov limping off with injury in the last qualifying game, Nazar Voloshyn is widely expected to sneak into the starting XI.
Les Tricolores, on the other hand, are on a four-game winning run in all competitions and they surely want to get their job done in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers as soon as possible. Despite Kylian Mbappe’s injury, away win should be considered as France have strength in depth. In Mbappe’s absence, Liverpool striker Hugo Ekitike is widely expected to lead the line for Didier Deschamps’ team. Earlier in the process, France defeated Iceland 2-1.
This World Cup 2026 match will be played on Monday 13 October 2025 at 19:45.
