Finland vs France: prediction for the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifier
On November 16, the Eagle-owls will host The Tricolors in the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifier. Will hosts be able to withstand? The answer is in our prediction.
Command Analysis
Finland
FinlandFinland national team for the first time in their history managed to qualify for the European Championship, it became a huge achievement for this national team. In the first match Finnish side recorded a 1:0 victory over Denmark, but then suffered two defeats and failed to advance into the playoffs.
Before the last match of the 2022 World Cup qualification Markku Kanerva's men have three victories and four draws, which brought them 11 points and a 2nd spot in the standings. We should note that the White-Blues scored ten goals and conceded no less than one goal per game.
After two consecutive defeats Suomi recorded the away victories over Kazakhstan (2:0) and Bosnia and Herzegovina (3:1). Hardly anyone expected that from the Scandinavian team.
France
FranceFrance national team already earned a spot in the World Cup and they will defend their title, which they got at 2018 World Cup in Russia.
Didier Deschamps' men didn't lose a single match in the current qualification tournament - four victories and three draws brought 15 points and a top spot in the standings. Team scored more than two goals per game on average and Frenchmen also have a fantastic defensive record - they conceded only three goals.
In two most recent rounds The Blues recorded a victory over their today opponent (2:0) and then trashed Kazakhstan (8:0). The Trocolors' performance at Euro 2020 was not so brilliant, team recorded only one victory, over Germany (1:0), but still advanced into the playoffs.
But visitors were suddenly eliminated by Switzerland in the penalty shoot-out.

Tip and bets
Visitors have no motivation in this match, but the whole world is looking at the champion, so The Blues have no right to play without any effort. In our opinion, visitors are two heads above their opponent, plus they will play without any weight on their shoulders, because they have already qualified for the World Cup. We are expecting an attacking football and a victory from France.
Our prediction - France to win
We think that Suomi will go all the way ahead, because the Eagle-owls have nothing to lose already, so visitors might get advantage of that, they have a number of players, who can punish the opponent on counter-attacks.
Our second bet is on France to win by two goals
