England vs Iceland: Score Predictions
England will look to make a winning start to their UEFA Nations League campaign when they face off against Iceland at the Laugardalsv?llur Stadium on September 5, 2020. The Three Lions will start as clear favourites in the match against a struggling Iceland side who finished bottom of their Euro 2020 qualifying group.
Current Form and Recent Records
England come into this game after a hard-fought 1-0 win over Iceland's Nordic rivals, Denmark, in their last outing. Gareth Southgate's men are in good form, having won six of their last 10 matches, including a memorable comeback win against the Netherlands in the UEFA Nations League in 2019.
In contrast, Iceland are going through a difficult phase, having lost seven of their last 10 matches in all competitions. Erik Hamren's side failed to qualify for Euro 2020 and have been struggling to replicate their heroics from the World Cup in 2018 when they reached the quarter-finals.
Expected Lineups
England will be without some key players, including Raheem Sterling and Marcus Rashford, who are injured. Eddie Nketiah, who made his debut against Austria in August, could start in their place alongside Harry Kane in attack. In midfield, Southgate may opt for a more attacking trio of Mason Mount, Phil Foden, and James Maddison. Kyle Walker and Ben Chilwell are likely to start at full-back, with Joe Gomez and Harry Maguire in central defence.
Iceland may struggle to contain England's attacking prowess with a defence that has conceded 19 goals in their last 10 matches. Their captain Aron Gunnarsson may miss out due to injury, but Gylfi Sigurdsson and Johann Berg Gudmundsson could provide some much-needed creativity in midfield. Kolbeinn Sigthorsson, who scored against Argentina in the World Cup, could lead their attack alongside Jon Dadi Bodvarsson.
Predicted Scoreline
Given the contrasting form and quality of the two sides, it's hard to imagine Iceland springing a surprise against England. The Three Lions are expected to dominate the game from start to finish and record a comfortable victory.
My prediction for the final scoreline: England 3-0 Iceland.
Conclusion
In conclusion, England have the edge over Iceland in almost every department, and it's unlikely that the hosts will be able to withstand the visitors' attacking firepower. The match promises to be an interesting encounter, but it's difficult to see anything other than a comfortable win for the Three Lions.
