England vs Iceland: preview
England's opening match their 2027 World Cup qualifying campaign was, to use the cliché, a real game of two halves.
Goalless at half time, the Lionesses ramped things up after the break to net six past Ukraine, who were hosting the match in Türkiye due to the ongoing conflict in their own country.
It was two goals apiece for Alessia Russo, Georgia Stanway and Jess Park in a 6-1 victory that has hopefully set the tone for the qualification campaign.
As well as Ukraine and Iceland, the European champions find themselves in a qualification group with Spain, but they do not have to play the world champions until the next block.
As well as Ukraine and Iceland, the European champions find themselves in a qualifying group with Spain, although they will not face the world champions until the next block.
Wiegman’s side will be relieved not to meet Spain, who they defeated on penalties in the Euro 2025 final, until the next international window in April.
Automatic qualification is reserved for the team that finishes top of the group, but as a League A nation, England are at least guaranteed a play-off place for next year's tournament in Brazil.
Despite being back-to-back European champions, England are currently ranked fourth in the world, behind Spain, the United States and Germany.
Iceland sit 16th in the FIFA world rankings, suggesting Saturday's match should be a closer affair than the one against Ukraine.
Captain Leah Williamson returned to the starting line-up in the Ukraine fixture for the first time since Euro 2025.
Chelsea's Hannah Hampton and Lauren James also featured on Tuesday, having missed the previous camp through injury.
While Manchester City's Alex Greenwood was also back in the squad, a minor muscle injury ruled her out of the Ukraine tie and she is being assessed ahead of the Iceland clash.
Notable absentees include Manchester United's Ella Toone, sidelined with a hip injury, and Arsenal's Beth Mead who is recovering from a fractured shin.
London City Lionesses defender Poppy Pattinson was handed her senior England debut against Ukraine.
FourFourTwo's prediction
England 3-1 Iceland
If the Lionesses build on the momentum from that second half of the Ukraine game, there is no reason why they can't make it a solid two wins from two.
