Date: Reykjavík, Iceland
Omo, as dem dey prepare for this World Cup Qualifier wey go happen for Monday, 13 October, everybody dey talk say France go show dem pepper. Na true say dem get some injury wahala, but e no go stop dem from flexing dem muscles against Iceland.
France don dey show people say dem fit win even when e no dey shine like diamond. Dem don win two qualifiers already, and dem dey look to make am three for three when dem meet Azerbaijan. E go sweet to see wetin go happen as dem battle Iceland next.
Iceland, meanwhile, just dey come back from some inconsistent form. E be like say dem don meet dem groove small, especially after dem score five goals against Azerbaijan last month. Na so dem dey come meet France, like say dem wan carry that momentum waka enter dem match.
The last time dem meet na last month and e no easy at all. France win that one 2-1, but no be small fight wey dem put up. Iceland yan say dem no fit win France since 1957, but dem sabi how to make the match dey shakara well well.
As we look the two teams, we fit see say France line-up get some firepower. Players like Kylian Mbappe, Michael Olise, and Hugo Ekitike dey ready to put ball for net. But make we no forget Iceland guys too; dem get their own dangerous players wey fit cause wahala for the French defense.
We fit expect say e go be match wey plenty goals go enter. As usual, dem two sides dey score well well. Over 2.5 goals don enter for eight of their last ten meetings. So, get your popcorn ready, my guy!
However, the real gist be say even though Iceland don play well, dem never fit win France anytime since dis rivalry start. Dem go try to hold dem ground and show say dem no be jinx, but we dey suspect say na still France go carry di day.
For the France coach, Didier Deschamps, e go need rally everybody wey dey fit to play to make sure say dem no underperform for this crucial match. Time go tell if Iceland go fit break their bad luck against les Bleus, but one thing we know sure be say the game go dey hot!
