THE PREDICTION
Iceland’s 2-0 defeat against Denmark means they have now conceded six goals in their two opening matches and they are on the verge of elimination. They come up against a France team who benefitted from two penalties in their second match against Russia as they won 2-0 to recover from their 1-0 defeat to Denmark in the opening match. The French are suffering from some poor management but the sheer quality of their squad makes them very dangerous. They should comfortably win this.
