THE PREDICTION

For Finland, victory is required if they wish to guarantee that all-important second-place position in Group D that would take them through to the next round. Any other result could see Ukraine leapfrog them depending on how they fare against Bosnia-Herzegovina. However, Finland's opponents come in the form of World Champions and UEFA Nations League winners France who are on the back of a thumping 8-0 thrashing of Kazakhstan. Despite having already secured their place at the 2022 World Cup, France are not expected to down tools here and when taking into account the quality, plus the strength-in-depth of Les Blues, backing the visitors to pick up three points is the sensible play here.
