NIGERIA VS ICELAND : Who Will Go Home Sooner
It's going to be interesting to see how Gislason will cope with being placed on the right flank. It's hard to fill Gudmundsson's shoes - he was one of Iceland's best players in the qualification campaign for the World Cup.
In addition, Iceland's formation, 4-4-2, shows that Iceland will want to attack more in this game. These players know this system extremely well, though, and have been playing it more or less for five years.
Both coaches have adapted their system. Instead of a flat back four, it looks like Nigerian coach Gernot Rohr is opting for a back three.
