Nigeria Vs Iceland Match Preview – Lineups & TV Channels List
This is for the 3rd time in row that Nigerian football team succeed to enter into the main rounds of FIFA World Cups and no doubt this team performed really well in FIFA Qualification rounds and proved themselves as one of the most deserving and strongest team of Africa. In last edition of FIFA World Cup Nigeria on the behalf of their good performance ended up in Round of 16 matches.
In last six games the performance of Nigeria football team remained below the expectations and this performance raise some serious questions on the preparation of this team for FIFA World Cup 2018. Out of six matches Nigeria just managed to grab victory in 2 matches whereas this team lost its three practice matches of FIFA 2018.
Iceland on the other hand of spectrum are flying high as this team has qualified for the main rounds of FIFA World Cup for the 1st time in their history so great moments for them and no doubt this all happened due to the brilliant performance of this team in FIFA Qualification Rounds whereas this team ended up on top position.
Opposite to their performance in FIFA Qualification Rounds, the performance of Iceland in last few practice matches remained very bad as this team just succeed to win only 1 match out of six matches and lost 3 other matches whereas 2 matches of this team ended up as draw. Iceland needs to regain their old form before jumping into the main rounds of FIFA 2018.
