Poland vs Finland: Match Preview
Both teams are vying for top positions in their group, each with seven points from the same number of matches. This match is crucial for both teams as they aim for a spot in the top two.
Poland started their qualification with wins against Lithuania (1-0) and Malta (2-0). However, they lost to Finland (1-2) in their third match. Poland will seek revenge and try to win by more than one goal to improve their goal difference. In their most recent game, Poland drew 1-1 with the Netherlands. With a new coach, they are looking to strengthen their position in this important match against a rival.
Finland began their campaign with a narrow win over Malta (1-0), followed by a draw with Lithuania (2-2) and a loss to the Netherlands (0-2).
