After sending England packing Iceland will hope to spring an even more dramatic surprise on one of Europe’s footballing superpowers in the quarter finals as they take on hosts France.

Didier Deschamps’ squad are still yet to find their best form four games into their tournament and spent the best part of an hour against Ireland sweating on their Euro 2016 future before Antoine Griezmann came to the rescue.

The indifferent form of the French compares markedly to Iceland, still unbeaten in tournament football and having belied the tag of “plucky underdogs” with a composed, disciplined display against England in which they were by far the better side.

Harry Kane, Wayne Rooney and Daniel Sturridge were unable to find a way past the Icelandic defensive wall, will Dimitri Payet and company endure similar struggles at the Stade de France? If not, the French defence will need to show far more resolve on set pieces than England did.

Team news

Leicester City midfielder N’Golo Kante and Sevilla centre-back Adil Rami will both be unavailable to Deschamps after picking up their second bookings of the tournament whilst Arsenal pair Olivier Giroud and Laurent Koscielny will both be on a disciplinary tightrope ahead of a possible semi-final against either Germany or Italy.

Griezmann hopes to move into a central attacking position after his double secured a 2-1 victory over Ireland and it may be that Giroud, without a goal since the opening game, makes way for the Atletico Madrid forward.

Iceland have no significant disciplinary concerns and, notwithstanding any late fitness worries, are unlikely to make major changes to the side that so comprehensively outclassed England.

Possible XI

France: Lloris, Sagna, Koscielny, Umtiti, Evra, Matuidi, Cabaye, Pogba, Coman, Griezmann, Payet

Iceland: Halldorsson, Saevarsson, R. Sigurdsson, Arnason, Skulason, Gudmundsson, G. Sigurdsson, Gunnarsson, Bjarnason, Sigthorsson, Bodvarsson

I expect a tough fight from the Icelandic boys led by their sad-looking captain - Aron Gunnarsson.

Even though France remains the favourite to win this match, one should not write off this Iceland team because so far this tournament has proven that no team can be downgraded. Let's remember how Wales damaged belgium's reputation two days ago.

We are hoping to see an entertaining encounter this night and I am hoping for a surprise.

What do u think mukina2 cool?

ok, so all my predictions have been coming through so far.

would give this to France.

France for Euro 2016.
Said this before the tournament began.

France and Portugal for finals.

It would be really tight between Wales and Portugal, but wales would sorely miss Ramsey.

#team les blues.
Re: France Vs Iceland :Euro 2016 Quarter-finals (5 - 2) On 3rd July 2016 by Aviero: 7:44pm On Jul 03, 2016
Iceland will win.

They'll then luckily beat Germany in the semis. The football world will be thrown into a state of fairytalic bullshît.. and there will be a meltdown on Twitter as usual.

Portugal on the other hand will beat Wales easily, upsetting some set of people known as cules grin grin

The final will be between Portugal and Iceland, just like what happened in 2004, between Greece and Portugal. (1st match and last match).

Half of the world's population will support Iceland, just because they love reading underdog stories.. Well, it'll seem they're getting their wish. They'll be living in paradise for 85mins, and then... the most dramatic thing football has ever seen will take place.

IMPORTANT INFO Centre back Samuel Umtiti will win his first cap for France in Sunday's European Championship quarterfinal against Iceland, stepping in for the suspended Adil Rami. Umtiti, 22, pairs up with Laurent Koscielny in the back line and should be tested by Iceland's tall, powerful strikers on the Stade de France pitch. France coach Didier Deschamps, who has kept tinkering with his team since the start of the tournament, opted for a 4-2-3-1 system with Paul Pogba and Blaise Matuidi sharing the defensive duties in midfield in the absence of suspended holding midfielder N'Golo Kante. Deschamps, who has won praise for shrewd tactical moves so far, went for the powerful Moussa Sissoko rather than the speedy Kingsley Coman on the right wing of midfield with Olivier Giroud the lone striker. Iceland are relying on the same starting lineup as in their shock 2-1 win over England in the last 16, in a 4-4-2 formation captained by midfielder and long- throw artist Aron Gunnarsson, fully fit after nursing a sore back. Nine Iceland players start the match with a booking and would miss a potential semifinal against Germany if they were to receive another yellow card
