Iceland vs France: How to Watch, Odds, WCQ Preview

"Reykjavik, Iceland - In a thrilling showdown, Iceland is set to face off against World Cup favourites France in a must-win World Cup qualifier on Monday night. The underdogs have shown flashes of promise, taking the lead in their narrow 2-1 loss to France at the Parc des Princes last month. However, their fearlessness was on display again in Reykjavik recently, though defensive lapses cost them dearly in a 5-3 defeat to Ukraine.
As France aims to extend their perfect start in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, manager Didier Deschamps will be without several key players, including Kylian Mbappe and Bradley Barcola, who both scored in the reverse fixture. "We're still flawless in these 2026 World Cup qualifiers," Deschamps said. "Next stop: Iceland on Monday." Despite their perfect record, France will face an uphill battle against Iceland's resilient defence.
For Iceland, manager Arnar Gunnlaugsson's side will need a strong performance to stay alive in the race. "Iceland have shown flashes of promise with a new generation coming through," said Gunnlaugsson. "We're not here to simply make up the numbers." With a 5-0 thrashing of Azerbaijan in their opening match, Iceland began their campaign brightly. However, back-to-back defeats to France (1-2) and Ukraine (3-5) have dented their hopes.
