Prediction: 1-1
Finland
Top position in Group H will be at stake when Kazakhstan and Finland face each other at Astana Arena on Thursday afternoon. The Kazakhs are eyeing their fourth consecutive win in the EURO 2024 qualifiers, but this match will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Aktobe striker Maksim Samorodov is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts.
The Finns, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run as well, with the team eyeing their fourth consecutive clean sheet in EURO 2024 qualifiers. As the visitors are likely to rely on their rock-solid defence in Thursday’s clash, we are tempted to put our money on under 2.5 goals. As for the away team, Valerenga forward Daniel Hakans is pushing for a start after scoring a hat-trick in the last group game. Former Norwich City centre-forward Teemu Pukki should be recalled to the starting XI as well.
Highlighted Team (Finland):
Finland national football team played their first international game before the World War 1. The Finns were beaten by fellow Nordic side Sweden (2-5) on October 22, 1911, but eleven years later they recorded their biggest ever win on the international stage.
Finland outclassed Estonia 10-2 in Helsinki and, speaking of their heaviest defeat, the team suffered a 13-0 loss to Germany in Leipzig during the World War II (1940). Finland national team became a member of FIFA back in 1908, but they have yet to qualify for the finals of the major tournament. The Finns did not participate in the European Championship finals as well, but several top-class footballers were part of their national football team in the past.
Former Liverpool ace Jari Litmanen scored 32 goals in 137 appearances for Finland and Sami Hyypia is yet another notable footballer who played for the Eagle-owls. The colour of Finland’s home kits is white, while they play their away games in blue shirts and blue shorts.
