"France will look to maintain their perfect record in Group D as they travel to face Iceland in Monday's 2026 World Cup qualifier. Didier Deschamps's team currently top the group with nine points from three games, while Iceland sit third - one point behind second-placed Ukraine in the chase for a play-off berth. Iceland began their qualifying campaign with a 5-0 win over Azerbaijan but have since suffered back-to-back defeats:"
"Iceland will be without forward Andri Gudjohnsen, who is suspended after accumulating too many bookings, a major loss given his tally of 10 goals in 36 international appearances. His absence could open the door for Daniel Gudjohnsen to start up front. Despite Friday's defeat, Gunnlaugsson is expected to keep faith with most of the same lineup, with Victor Palsson and Albert Gudmundsson set to retain their places in midfield and attack respectively."
France top Group D with nine points from three games and travel to Iceland looking to preserve a perfect qualifying record. Iceland sit third, one point behind Ukraine, having started with a 5-0 win over Azerbaijan but then lost 2-1 to 10-man France and 5-3 at home to Ukraine. Iceland remain within striking distance of the top two and will seek a response in front of their home crowd. Andri Gudjohnsen is suspended for Iceland after accumulating too many bookings, potentially allowing Daniel Gudjohnsen to start. France will be without Kylian Mbappe, Ibrahima Konate and several others; Adrien Rabiot and Jean-Philippe Mateta could feature.
