Preview

Finland eyes a hat-trick of wins to end their qualification campaign and seal a play-off qualifier spot for next year’s world Cup when they face France.

The defending champions sealed qualification earlier in the campaign and will look to finish off well after a successful stint in the UEFA Nations League as well, where they won the title vs Spain.

Finland beat Bosnia and Herzegovina 3-1 away in their previous clash on Saturday.

Forss, Lod and O’ Shaughnessy scored for the visitors to ensure back-to-back wins in the qualifiers.

Menalo pulled one back for Bosnia, but it proved inconsequential at the end of 90 minutes.

They remain 2nd with 11 points and need to win this clash to secure a play-off spot, as Ukraine stay on their toes with 9 points from 7 matches and are in action as well.

On the other hand, France beat Kazakhstan 8-0 at home in their previous clash on Saturday.

Both sides met in the 1st leg of the qualifiers in September, where France won 2-0 at home.

Team News

Pogba limped out of training recently and was removed from the squad for the qualifiers. Apart from him, France has no injury concerns and neither do the hosts.

Finland possible 11:

Hradecky, Uronen, Arajuuri, Vaisanen, O’Shaughnessy, Hamalainen, Lod, Schüller, Kamara, Pukki and Forss

France possible 11:

Lloris, Hernandez, Zouma, Koundé, Digne, Rabiot, Tchouameni, Pavard, Griezmann, Yedder and Mbappé

Prediction: Finland 0-2 France

We expect another comfortable win for France in this one as they aim to finish off on a high.

Finland’s approach is key to making this a positive contest as their hopes lie on this result and Ukraine’s match as well.

But we do not see the hosts getting much from this clash.
