ICE vs ENG Dream11 Prediction: England will be hoping for a positive start to their UEFA Nations League campaign when they lock horns with Iceland on Saturday.  The Three Lions will be hoping for a better tournament this time after being humbled 3-1 by the Netherlands in the Semi-finals of the inaugural National League, courtesy of two goals in extra time. Iceland, on the other hand, finished bottom of their group with four losses in four games, scoring just one goal in the process while conceding 13. This included the 6-0 battering at the hands of Switzerland – a game which boasted of six different goalscorers. They have been drawn in an even tougher group this time out with the likes of Belgium, Denmark, and England.

ICE vs ENG Dream11 Team Prediction

Iceland Team News
Erik Hamren’s side will be keen to show improvement in the current edition, but it would be fair to say that the national team are primarily focused on booking their spot at next summer’s European Championships. Iceland will take on Romania in the semi-finals of the qualification playoffs on October 8 ahead of a potential clash against either Bulgaria or Hungary in the final in November. They famously qualified for Euro 2016 to reach its first major tournament and beat England in the round of 16, recording a 2-1 victory to advance to the quarter-finals, where they lost to host nation France.

Injury update, unavailability
Iceland will be without Johann Berg Gudmundsson, Aron Gunnarsson, Alfred Finnbogason and Ragnar Sigurdsson in this clash.

ICE Playing 11 & Subs (probable)
Halldorsson; Hermannsson, Arnason, Ingason, Skulason; A Sigurdsson, Bjarnason, Trautason, Anderson; Bodvarsson, Sigthorsson

England Team News
On the other hand, England, along with Netherlands and France, have probably the best young talents in the whole world at the moment. Under Gareth Southgate, the team is once again experiencing the rise of a golden generation, and unlike the last one, this one hopes to bring some serious silverware for their fans. They did make an inspiring deep run into the semifinals of the 2018 World Cup. But it ultimately ended there, and now they have another opportunity, in the form of the Nations League.

Injury update, unavailability
England team will miss the service of Rashford and Winks in this clash against Iceland.

ENG Playing 11 & Subs (probable)
Pope; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Keane, Walker; Mount, Rice, Foden; Sterling, Kane, Sancho

The fact that Iceland are missing a number of key players will certainly help England, who will be determined to pick up a strong result ahead of next week’s clash with Denmark.
