In order to achieve a victory that will allow him to reach the round of 16 on the last day, this Friday Nigeria and Iceland jump to the Volgograd Arena, in play that corresponds to Group D of the 2018 World Cup Russia. .
Nigeria:
Those led by Gernot Rohr disappointed and much in their debut against Croatia, and that although the defeat was among the plans, the fact of not having been able to generate any clear goal is very worrying for an African team that was very confident in making a good presentation in Russia 2018.
The truth is that with that defeat the Super Eagles added a streak of three consecutive defeats in the world, remember that in Brazil 2014 closed the group stage with a defeat 2-3 against Argentina and then in the last 16 France beat it 2-0 .
The certain thing is that Nigeria does not have other than to win this Friday so to arrive with chances to his game against Argentina in the last day and for it Rohr leans in what can make his maximum referent in opposite area as it is Víctor Moses that will be accompanied by Odion Ighalo.
Meanwhile, everything indicates that the only variant will be in the middle sector where Ogenyi Onazi will take the place of Etebo.
Iceland:
Meanwhile, those led by Heimir Hallgrimsson can be said to have debuted very well in their participation in the World Cup after drawing a goal against a candidate for the title as is Argentina and the best thing is that it was replenished on the scoreboard, since it was Sergio Aguero who opened the account, but happily Alfred Finnbogason put the final equality four minutes later.
Against Argentina it was very good what Iceland did in defense stopping one of the best players in the world as Lionel Mesi, but now the story has to be different, since nothing will tie the albicelestes if this Friday is not achieved a victory against Nigeria that allows him to get close to achieving a historic qualification to the Round of 16 in a World Cup, and that is why it is expected that the wheel of England’s Everton as Gylfi Sigurdsson is a little looser, especially supporting the attack.
Possible alignments:
Nigeria: Uzoho; Shehu, Troost-Ekong, Balogun, Idowu; Ndidi, Onazi, Iwobi, Obinna, Moses; Ighalo.
Iceland: Halldorsson; Saevarsson, Arnason, Sigurdsson, Magnusson; Gudmundsson, Gunnarsson, Hallfredsson, Bjarnason; Sigurdsson, Finnbogason.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / NO @ 1.76
