Iceland (4-4-2) faces England (4-3-3) at the Laugardalsvöllur Stadium in Reykjavik in the first round of the UEFA Nations League on Saturday 05 September 2020 at 18:00.
Iceland is the underdog in this group stage, but this team has proved a lot of times, specially in UEFA European Championship 2016 that they have what it takes to battle against the biggest National teams in Europe. This Saturday evening they will face England at their home ground. This surely won't be an easy game for Icelanders, but they have to enter the pitch focused and prove that they can be an uncomfortable opponents for everyone.
Their coach, Swedish Erik Hamrén belives that his players can stop their next opponents. He knows he can count on all of his players, starting from Brescia's midfielder Birkir Bjarnason (3 goals and 2 assists in the qualification matches 2019/20) and his partner, legendary Everton's midfielder and playmaker, Gylfi Sigurðsson (2 goals in the qualification matches 2019/20) to create some dangerous attempts and bring some fear in England's players. England's defenders should better keep their eyes opened on AIK's forward, Kolbeinn Sigthorsson (3 goals in the qualification matches 2019/20) who can be very dangerous in offensive phases.
As we take a look to the away team, we have England, who will travel in the capital city of Iceland, with aim to win this hard game, and start as better as they can this National competition.
The Three Lions are one of the favourites to pass the group stage on the first place, or at least as second. Their next game will be against Iceland, who surely won't give any discount to their opponents, indeed, they will do anything to prove how uncomfortable they can be.
England's coach, Gareth Southgate, belives that his players can beat their next opponents and bring back home in England a big victory. He knows he can count on all of his players, specially on guys like Chelsea's midfielder, Ross Barkley (4 goals and 3 assists in the qualification matches 2019/20), who has proved how important he is in the midfield, his teammate also, Manchester City's wing Raheem Sterling (8 goals and 6 assists in the qualification matches 2019/20) who can be very dangerous with his skills, but mostly on Tottenham's forward Harry Kane (12 goals and 5 assists in the qualification matches), who surely will be Iceland's biggest problem to take car of in this game.
These two teams have faced each other once in a official match before in their history. This will be their second match. In the first match, and only for now, Iceland won (England 1-2 Iceland).

This match will be full of goal chances. Since this will be their first game in this competition, both teams will spend most of their time by attacking and trying to score, so that they can bring back home 3 important points and continue their road.
After all I said about these two teams and the match, I would rather think that England will win this match.
My final Iceland vs England Prediction is England to win.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
