On Friday afternoon, Nigeria and Iceland go head-to-head in a crucial Group E game in Group D of the World Cup.
Nigeria kicked off their campaign with a 2-0 victory, which could prove to be fatal to the Super Eagles chancing of making the knockout stages of the competition. They cannot afford another defeat if they are to progress to the last 16.
The defeat continued the African team’s poor recent form, as they have failed to record a win in their last five outings. In fact, Gernot Rohr side suffered four defeats in those five winless games.
Nigeria’s recent games have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of their last six outings.

Like their opponents, Heimir Hallgrimsson’s side headed into the World Cup on the back of a five-game winless run. However, they will take inspiration from their run to the quarter-finals of Euro 2016.
A win for the Gylfi Sigurdsson and co. would give them a fantastic chance of making the knockout stages of the competition in their debut World Cup tournament.
Prediction
Iceland win and/or U 2.5 goals
