IGNORE - Nigeria vs Iceland: TV channel, live stream, squad news & preview image

Iceland stunned the world when they held Argentina to a 1-1 draw, and will be looking to capitalise on their confidence as they head into their second World Cup fixture against Nigeria at Volgograd Arena on Friday June 22.

Goalkeeper Hannes Thor Halldorsson saved a penalty taken by Lionel Messi that would have put Argentina up 2-1 at the break, and have an arguably better chance than the South Americans of making the last 16 phase of the competition.

Nigeria have a youthful side that includes the likes of Alex Iwobi, though their 2-0 loss against Croatia puts them in danger of not making it out of their group for the third time in their last four World Cup appearances. 

Here is everything you need to know about the Group D fixture between the sides on Friday.

Squads & Team News


Iceland will expect to be without the services of Johann Berg Gudmundsson, who sustained a muscle injury in the opening fixture against Argentina and his chances of making a full recovery ahead of Friday's fixture are slim.

Midfielder Rurik Gislason came on or Gudmundsson and is the likeliest to replace him in the XI, which would be the only significant change.

Potential Sweden XI: Olsen; Lustig, Granqvist, Augustinsson, Jansson; Larsson, Ekdal, Forsberg, Claesson; Berg, Toivonen.
