Finland finished 2020 on a high and will be hoping to start 2021 the same way when they host Bosnia in Group D of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers. In a group that also has France, Ukraine and Kazakhstan, a fine start here will be very key for these teams. Finland are ranked 55th and Bosnia 56th so we expect a close game. Hosts Finland head to the game having lost to Wales in their last game of 2020, but prior to that they had four straight wins. They are set to grace Euro 2020 finals, and this is also as a result of a fine start to the qualifiers so they’ll be well aware of the secret here. Finland have five wins in the last eight matches, while four of the eight matches have produced clean sheets. They’ve been good in attack too, scoring in seven of the eight matches and in three of the last five they’ve scored two or more goals. They really need a good start and fine run in the World Cup qualification matches. Their last 11 have produced just two wins, but they head here unbeaten in the last four. Across all competitions, Finland have lost just three of their 18 home matches, and won 13. In what will pass as a marked improvement for Finland, they’ve beaten France, Bulgaria and Ireland in their recent matches.

Bosnia on the other hand head to this game having wrapped up 2020 on a low, with four straight losses, and are without a win in eight matches. The team has managed just three clean sheets in the last 15 matches and go to this clash having failed to score in four of the last five matches. After their elimination from Euro 2020 contention by Northern Ireland, it will be key for Bosnia to give this a fine start and being ranked just a place below Finland should give them confidence. However, they have no win in their last three away matches and their only wins in the last five World Cup qualification matches, only came against minnows Estonia and Gibraltar.
