Argentina vs Iceland World Cup Prediction
The race scheduled for today at 15 Italian, valid for the elimination phase of the World Championships in Russia, sees itself face off at the Otkrytiye Arena in Moscow, Argentina and Iceland.
The two national teams are included in Group D, considered one of the most difficult of this event, given that there are very difficult teams of the caliber of Croatia and Nigeria. For the South Americans, returning from three finals lost (one in the world in Brazil and two in the last editions of the America’s Cup), it is a golden opportunity, given the strength of the team, while for Iceland, a real opportunity to continue the story, after the exploit at the last European in France.
It should be noted that this is the first official challenge between these two teams who will battle to win points already very heavy for the second round.
Argentina does not come, as in the past, with the favor of the forecasts and perhaps this thing could also be good: in the South American qualifications, Messi and teammates have struggled and not just to win the pass for Russia, risking even exclusion (Chile was eliminated for one point). For many talents of Mr. Sampaoli’s team, this is the last great opportunity to repeat the successes of ’78 and ’86. To be noted several ballots in midfield and attack that will keep the fans in anxiety.
Discounted talk about Messi as a player to watch (even if the Barcelona player has never expressed the best with the national team), whereas Dybala starts from the bench (he could be the “crack” of South Americans), we are betting everything on the verve of Angel Di Maria, a player sometimes underestimated but able to change the outcome of the races.
Probable Training
Armani; Mercado, Otamendi, Fazio, Tagliafico; Mascherano, Lo Celso, Banega; Messi, Aguero, Di Maria.
For the Icelandic national it is the debut at the World Cup, a real success for a nation that boasts just over three hundred thousand inhabitants and veterans from a European to say the least extraordinary that saw them eliminated only in the quarterfinals from France. As for the training, no doubt for the coach Hallgrímsson, who can deploy the best team possible.
One of the surprises of this championship could be Everton’s trequartista Gylfi Sigurdsson, a 28-year-old playmaker who got injured at the end of the season but returned on time to show all his talent to the world.
Probable Training
Alldorsson; Saevarsson, Arnason, Sigurdsson R., Magnusson; Gudmundsson J., Gunnarsson, Hallfredsson, Bjarnason; Sigurdsson G., Finnbogason.
Prediction Argentina vs Iceland
Argentina definitely favourite but still eye Iceland that could be one of the positive surprises of this edition of the world.
