Kazakhstan vs Finland Predictions

• Kazakhstan have won five of their last seven home games
• The hosts bounced back from a poor World Cup 2022 qualifying campaign to put together a great run
• Finland struggled in a visit to Northern Ireland and they’ve lost two of their last three away games

Top two clash in Group H

These two sides are in pole position to make Euro 2024 as things stand, each winning three of their first four games. The fact that the pair have a two-point lead over Denmark is impressive, but this group is set to go down to the wire.

Kazakhstan recovered from a 2-1 home defeat to Slovenia to go on a run, while Finland had lost 3-2 to Denmark in their opener before turning their qualifying campaign around. Both sides will hope to secure a place at the Euros and a win on Thursday would go a long way towards that.

Hosts to claim revenge

Finland head east as favourites, having won home and away when these two sides met in World Cup qualifying. While that may lend itself towards the visitors ahead of this clash, it’s worth noting that Kazakhstan have turned things around since losing at home in October 2021.

The hosts have won five of their seven home games since, while they toasted promotion in the Nations League by finishing top of their League C pool last year.

While Finland have put together a good run, they lost at Denmark before failing to impress in a win at Windsor Park. They have a huge trip in prospect for this clash and the hosts are on form at home, making them a great value option for three vital points.
