France could confirm their qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a win over Iceland when the teams meet on Monday in Reykjavik. This Group D match between third-placed Iceland and the group leaders, Les Bleus, comes with our prediction of under 3.5 goals.
With three points in the campaign (W1, L2), Iceland are one point behind second-placed Ukraine ahead of this round. France have three wins out of three and have a five-point lead over Ukraine. The group winners qualify directly for the World Cup, while the runners-up advance to the play-offs.
Iceland were beaten 5-3 at home against Ukraine in the last round, which was preceded by a 2-1 defeat to France on matchday two. These defeats, in a way, erased the positives of their 5-0 win over Azerbaijan in the first match of this campaign.
Recent home form hasn’t been comforting either, as Iceland lost three of their four recent home games (W1, L3), with the only win coming against Azerbaijan.
France won 3-0 at home against Azerbaijan in their last match, which made it three out of three in this qualification campaign, conceding just one goal. With nine wins out of their last 12 matches (W9, D1, L2), France have the best momentum to extend their run.

Our Iceland vs France Prediction
France are assured of a play-off spot based on their Nations League ranking but have not let their guard down. With three consecutive wins, they stand on the cusp of qualifying directly for the World Cup with a victory here and other results going their way. Iceland’s chances are on the edge, as a defeat here could push them to the edge of elimination. Regardless, their recent form has been up and down, which is a concern.
France have been defensively strong, and that could continue here, which is why our Iceland vs France prediction is under 3.5.
