Comment les deux équipes abordent-elles ce match ?
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.
Nos prévisions
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.
