Finland vs Poland prediction
Finland know that this is a crunch game for them if they are to have any chance of finishing second in Group G. they sit behind Poland by two points having played a game more but they will know that a win here puts them in with a shout of challenging them.
They cam unstuck against the Netherlands last time out but they will be hoping to take advantage of an unsettled Poland team who have had to handle major controversy surrounding their star man Robert Lewandowski.
The legendary striker was stripped of the captaincy with coach Michal Probierz making Piotr Zielinski the new captain and Lewandowski has since made the decision not to play for the national team while Probierz is in charge.
It will be interesting to see what impact that has on the team ahead of this game but it is far from ideal.
Finland will be aiming to take advantage of any divide in the camp but they have an abysmal record against Poland. Expect the visitors to set aside any issues and do a professional job against a Finnish side that is struggling at home.
