Prediction: 0-2
France
After rolling over Kazakhstan 8-0, France will look to cement top position in Group D when they take on Finland in Helsinki in their last group game. Les Tricolores have already secured automatic qualification for the 2022 World Cup, but they surely want to remain undefeated in Group D. Didier Deschamps should opt to make changes to the team that faced the Kazakhs, with Aurelien Tchouameni, Kurt Zouma, and Benjamin Pavard all pushing for a start. Olympique Marseille man Matteo Guendouzi could be handed his France debut against Finland.
The hosts, on the other hand, did well to beat Bosnia in Zenia in their last group match, with the team climbing to second place in the standings. Finland are eager to grab something from Tuesday’s clash as Ukraine are breathing down their neck, but given the number of high-profile footballers in Didier Deschamps’ team, away win should be considered. Right-back Raitala is banned, while centre-back Ivanov has been ruled out with injury.

Highlighted Team (France):
Recording impressive results on international stage since 1904, France are widely regarded as one of the world’s most successful national teams, with three major trophies to their name. Two of those were won on home soil as Les Bleus emerged triumphant at the 1984 World Cup and 1998 European Championships, before also winning the 2000 Euros in Netherlands and Belgium.
Michel Platini, Jean Tigana, Luis Fernandez and Alain Giresse formed the “Carre Magique” during the 80’s as one of the most impressive attacking line-ups made life difficult for opposition defenders for years on end.
The new golden generation appeared at the turn of the century and featured players like Thierry Henry, Zinedine Zidane, David Trezeguet and Youri Djorkaef, winning back to back major trophies to place Les Bleus back on the map.
