The stats tell the story, and Iceland have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing their opponents hit 11 goals in all. Defensively, Iceland just haven’t been too solid at all.

In this match, Iceland have it in them to score a goal against this Japan lineup, however that possibly won’t be as many as the goals that they could concede.
