Prediction: 0-1
Poland
Helsinki Olympic Stadium will host Tuesday’s World Cup qualifier between Finland and Poland, the two teams that meet in a competitive match for the first time since 2007. Back then, the two teams played out a goalless draw, but Poland are seen as hot favourites to win this qualifier. In Robert Lewandowski’s absence, a man to watch in the away team will be Inter midfielder Piotr Zielinski, with his teammate Nicola Zalewski likely to start as well.
The Finns, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Netherlands and given their difficulties up front, we predict that Poland are going to pick up vital three points from Tuesday’s qualifier. Veteran striker Teemu Pukki is expected to start from the bench once again, with Palermo forward Joel Pohjanpalo leading the line for the hosts. Cracovia man Benjamin Kallman is pushing for a start.
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.
