The game will also be on talkSPORT, BBC Radio 5 Live and on the BBC Sport website and App.

There has been 6 competitive meetings between the sides with 3 wins apiece. Overall they have met on 10 occasions with Hungary winning the last 5.

You have to go back to 1966 for the last time Hungary won back-to-back games at a major tournament.

In their opener against Portugal, the Icelanders recorded the lowest amount of possession in the first phase of matches with just 27%.

Winner of this game will be pretty much through so probably a draw!

Hungary probably had the best all round performance of the round one matches, so it will be very interesting to see if they can get close to matching that level in this match, if so, then it could very well be a comfortable victory once again for them.

I hope that Iceland do themselves justice one again, as they defended very well indeed in their first match.

At the start of the Euros, Hungary had the highest odds of any team in the tournament; 300-1 to win! Now, if they win today, which could well happen, they'll most likely top the group! Hungary in the knockout rounds will be interesting if it happens.

Steve Wilson reporting that fights are breaking out between Hungarian fans and police inside the Stade Vélodrome.

Surely they are English fans dressed as Hungarians?

That goes without saying.

Apparently one set of fans wanted to join their compatriots in another part of the stadium that was separated by fencing and started climbing over it and the police and stewards were not best pleased by this.

I love the Icelandic fans, they're fantastic and so passionate.

33,000 fans or 10% of their population in France, or so they've said.

Iceland's odds at the beginning of the tournament were 125-1. Six countries (Hungary, Northern Ireland, Albania, Slovakia, Romania and Republic of Ireland) all had higher odds than them. The rest of the countries had lower odds and were rated as more likely to win the tournament.

Hungary 2-0 for me.

I just can't see Iceland causing significant problems for a defence that's much better organised than the Portuguese one they came up against in their first match.

Looking forward to this one. Iceland nicking that point against Portugal blew this group wide open.

The back window in the studio needs a good clean.

You'll see better pitches in League 2 in November that that one in Marseille!

Really don't know about this one, I have no solid basis for separating these teams, so I will go for a draw 0-0, but will settle for 4-4

I go with the loosest Cov connection for any of my picks, so I'm all for Iceland and Gunnarsson today. We were once linked with Gera and nothing came of it, so up yours Hungary.

The Icelandic anthem is rather lovely.

Damn, I wish you had posted that before I sent my dithering, on the fence post .. that sort of persuasive argument would have put me firmly in the Iceland camp

If Iceland make a habit of qualifying for tournaments, hopefully we won't have to keep being told there aren't many people there.
