On 10 June 2025, the Europe – World Cup Qualifying fixture Finland v Poland takes centre stage at the historic Helsingin olympiastadion in Helsingfors. The match kicks off at 19:45 BST (20:45 CEST), with fans across the UK, Italy, Germany, France and Spain tuning in to witness this crucial group clash.
This Group C encounter sees second-placed Finland (4 points) host group leaders Poland (6 points). Both sides have made solid starts to their campaigns, setting the stage for a high-stakes showdown under the summer lights in Helsinki.
¿Cómo llegan ambos equipos?
Finland, guided by coach Jacob Friis, have shown glimpses of quality but also yielded lapses at the back. Their 2-2 draw away to Lithuania highlighted both resilience and defensive frailties. With only one win in their last five outings, Finland will rely on home advantage and a vocal crowd at the Olympiastadion to spur them on.
Poland, under Michał Probierz, boast a perfect defensive record in qualifiers so far (3 goals scored, 0 conceded) and sit top of the group. Their 2-0 victory over Malta continued a fine start, and the visitors will be confident of extending their unbeaten run. Poland’s balanced approach and recent dominance in head-to-head clashes add to their status as favourites.
Nuestras previsiones
We anticipate a closely fought contest, but edge the prediction towards an Away win for Poland. Their unbeaten defensive record and psychological advantage from recent 4-0 and 5-1 wins over Finland cannot be ignored. Expect Poland to control large spells and hit on the break.
That said, Finland’s home support may inspire them to find the net, making a 2-1 victory for Poland our most likely scoreline. With both teams capable in attack but Poland’s defence looking rock-solid, a low-scoring affair where only one side scores seems probable.
