Team News and Analysis

Haiti

Haiti arrive with a mixed recent run. FOX Sports lists their last five matches as a 1-0 loss to Tunisia, wins over Nicaragua and Costa Rica, and a loss to Honduras, so this is a team that can compete but still needs more consistency in the final third.

Their squad has enough attacking talent to trouble Iceland, with Duckens Nazon, Frantzdy Pierrot, Louicius Don Deedson, and Carlens Arcus all included in UEFA’s official squad list.

Haiti will likely want a compact shape, quick counters, and more efficiency around the box.)

Iceland

Iceland’s recent form has been tougher, but the squad still has plenty of quality.

UEFA’s team page shows a 2-2 draw with Canada, a 4-0 loss to Mexico, a 2-0 loss to Ukraine, and a 2-0 win over Azerbaijan in their recent run.

The Iceland squad includes Gylfi Sigurdsson, Hákon Haraldsson, Ísak Bergmann Johannesson, Victor Pálsson, and Breel-Orri Óskarsson in UEFA’s official squad list.

Iceland should look to control possession more often, use their midfield passing, and test Haiti’s back line with direct movement from wide areas.
