Team News: Iceland unchanged for Hungary clash

Iceland unchanged for Hungary clash

Iceland joint-managers Lars Lagerback and Heimir Hallgrimsson have named an unchanged team for their Euro 2016 clash against Group F leaders Hungary in Marseille.

In their first appearance at a major international competition, Iceland picked up a 1-1 draw against Portugal on Tuesday, with Birkir Bjarnason cancelling out a first-half effort from Nani.

The same XI will take to the field against Hungary, leaving Swansea City's Gylfi Sigurdsson alongside Cardiff City's Aron Gunnarsson, who skippers his country, in the middle of the park.

As for Hungary, head coach Bernd Storck has made three changes to the team that opened with a 2-0 victory over Austria.

Tamas Priskin replaces Adam Szalai at centre-forward, while Roland Juhasz and Zoltan Stieber take the places of Attila Fiola and Krisztian Nemeth, who have both dropped to the bench.

Three points for Hungary would see them qualify for the knockout stage of the competition.

Iceland: Halldorsson; Saevarsson, R.Sigurdsson, Arnason, Skulason; B.Bjarnason, G.Sigurdsson, Gunnarsson, Gudmundsson; Bodvarsson, Sigthorsson Subs: Hauksson, Hermansson, Ingason, Finnbogason, Kristinsson, Jonsson, Sigurjonsson, E.Bjarnson, Magnusson, Hallfredsson, Traustason, Gudjohnsen
