France are going through a very tough period; they have no win in the last five matches and in each of them they’ve had to come from behind to register draws. They go to their sixth game of Group D in World Cup qualifiers against Finland leading with nine points from five matches. Meanwhile, Finland are second with five points from three matches. In France’s five straight draws, they lost one on post match penalties and among their problems is Kylian Mbappe’s injury and a seemingly shortage of confidence in defence. They have no clean sheet in their last five matches, with both teams scoring in the run, while four of their last six matches have ended in under 2.5 goals. France have kept clean sheets in two of their last six matches in World Cup qualification matches, with both teams scoring in four of six. In their last meeting with Finland, France lost 2-0 at home in a November 2020 friendly.

Finland go to this game having registered their first win in the group, after two opening draws. They have two games in hand and wins there will see them go top of the group. That is enough to build their confidence going to this game. They have two wins and a draw in the last five matches and are coming from a 1-0 win over Kazakhstan, their third clan sheet in five matches. Each of Finland’s last five matches has produced under 2.5 goals. They are goal shy, failing to score in three of the last five matches, but are unbeaten in seven straight World Cup qualification matches. Away from home in the qualifiers, they have two draws and a win in the last three.
