Nigeria
Representatives of the African continent are not very fond of fortune, because in the draw of the group stage they got serious rivals. Few people hoped that the children will be able to compete on an equal footing with the other representatives of the quartet, and the first game in the tournament fully confirmed all expectations. "Superorl" lost to Croatia, in fact booking their tickets home.
It can not be said that the "checkers" outplayed their opponent in all respects. Modric and the company on the class got an important Victoria, skillfully taking advantage of the mistakes of the opponent. The Croatians have muffled this meeting, but this can be attributed to the start of the World Cup rather than to the active actions of Nigerians. Now they will face the "Vikings", who have shown themselves well from the first match.
Iceland
Wards Haymyr Hadlgrimsson well proven on the margins of France during the last European championship. Then the guys on the character went to England at the stage of the 1/8 finals, but in the quarter finals they folded their weapons before the hostess of the tournament. Fans expect their favorites to repeat a fairy tale of two years ago.
The Blues have already taken some measures to fulfill this mission. In the debut tour at the World Cup they faced a formidable Argentina and managed to paint the world. In the scoring point there is no full merit of the Icelanders, because the fortune in that game was against their opponent. Eleven strokes of Lionel Messi, none of which became effective, and also the penalty they did not realize helped the Vikings to take their feet.
Forecast for this match
Nominal hosts from the very beginning were considered outsiders of the group. Now they are one foot out of the tournament, and there are no prerequisites for their situation to change. Future guests have repeatedly manifested their character - in the reporting match they need to take three points. Otherwise, you can forget about leaving the stage of the playoffs.

The World Championship in Russia continues to gain momentum, and the coming Friday has prepared for us three next fascinating confrontations. One of them will be the battle of the national teams of Nigeria and Iceland, who will meet in Volgograd, at the stadium "Volgograd Arena". Bookmakers with caution approach the reporting duel, giving a slight advantage to future guests.
This caution is difficult to explain, because the nominal owners are the main outsider of the group. Football players lost in the starting round, while their opponent was able to impose a fight one of the contenders for the triumph in the tournament. The defeat for the Nigerians will leave them behind the World Cup, and the Icelanders in the event of a victory will have a good chance of reaching the stage of the playoffs.

For the entire qualifying tournament in the African zone, Nigeria scored 14 goals in 8 matches, missed - 4th.
In CHAN-2018, Nigerians reached the final, where they lost to the hosts of the tournament Morocco with a score of 0: 4. And for the whole draw they distinguished themselves 7th time in 6 matches, and missed - 6-t. And in the last 5 meetings wards Guernot Róra struck the gate of opponents only 2 times (in the control match with DR Congo - 1: 1 and with England - 1: 2).

In the 80 years, many experts assumed that the future of world football is over the African continent. And one of the countries that was seen in perspective was Nigeria. This country, as on the conveyor belt, gave out many interesting and strong players. Now the "African Brazilians" are not such a stellar team as before. In their composition there are several interesting performers who do not pull to the world level. In the first round, the "Superorl" met with the Croats and lost to them (0: 2). The chances of success for the Nigerians were almost none, the advantage of Europeans was felt in everything.
The national team of Iceland issued a new little sensation, taking points in opposition to the Argentine national team (1: 1). Icelanders the whole team went into the defense, not allowing to distinguish the "star" football players, "albiseleste" led by Messi. The islanders played disciplined, selflessly, fought for every meter of their half of the field. I'm not a fan of this game, but Icelanders simply did not have another option for success.
If the opponents of the upcoming match want to go to the playoffs (and they want it), then you just have to tune in to win. In the last round in the group they are expected by strong teams with tournament motivation. Both the Icelanders and the Superorls will be aimed at attacking, which means there will be many chances to score each other. Both teams in their last six fights could not leave their gates on the castle. I predict the score of the match 2: 1 in favor of Iceland, and one more early retirement from the tournament of the African team.

It is interesting to watch the meetings in Group D, there is a fairly even team of teams with a fairly high rating of FIFA. According to the bookmakers in the match between the national teams of Nigeria and Iceland there is no obvious favorite, the rivals have approximately equal chances to win. I agree with one addition, the Europeans will be closer to victory. And this is not only because of the rating of FIFA, where the Icelanders occupy the 20th line, and the Nigerians are on the 48th place. Just African teams are psychologically inferior to their counterparts from other continents. Look, on mundiale they all miss goals in the last minutes of matches. A well-organized "iron" team of Iceland, if necessary, can suppress the current opponent.
