Prediction: 1-1
Finland
After failing to spoil Poland’s party at PGE Narodowy, Lithuania will look to give fans some cheer when they take on Finland in their first home game in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The Lithuanians defended well in their opener, but Robert Lewandowski eventually broke the deadlock to help Poland pick up all three points from the match. Defender Pijus Sirvys is major doubt after suffering an injury in the first group game.
The Finns, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Malta. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the away team, experienced forward Teemu Pukki should be recalled to the starting XI. Anyhow, a close encounter is on the cards at Darius and Girenas Stadium and we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. In their last meeting in a competitive match, Lithuania defeated Finland 1-0.
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.
