Finland vs Kazakhstan Predictions
[wptb id=393919]
Group H’s Pivotal Battle for Euro 2024 Dreams
Key Stats
– Kazakhstan have never beaten Finland in competitive meetings, scoring just once.
– Daniel Håkans, with an average BettingTips4You Expert Rating of 7.43, is Finland’s top performer in Euro 2024 qualifiers.
As Euro 2024 qualification nears its climax, Group H adversaries Finland and Kazakhstan prepare to lock horns this Tuesday. The weight of expectation looms large over both teams, as they both require victories to remain relevant in the race for automatic qualification.
The Current Scenario
A mere glance at the recent fixtures in European Championship qualifying Group H reveals the compactness of the leaderboard, with just a point separating the top four teams. This adds layers of significance to Finland’s recent match against Slovenia. Unfortunately for the Finnish side, their hopes were dashed in Ljubljana’s Stadion Stozice, thanks to the brilliance of Slovenian sensation Benjamin Sesko, whose double ensured a 3-0 win for the home side.

The implications are significant: should Finland suffer a defeat at the hands of Kazakhstan, and results for Denmark and Slovenia favour the latter two, the Finns would find themselves outside the top two. But it’s not all bleak for Finland. Hope still burns bright, especially as one of either Denmark or Slovenia is bound to drop points in their head-to-head next month. Even if direct qualification remains elusive, a playoff spot could be their consolation, courtesy of their commendable display in the UEFA Nations League’s League B.
On the other hand, Kazakhstan, a nation yet to grace a major international tournament, sees Germany 2024 as a beacon of aspiration. Their journey so far, including impressive victories against Denmark, Northern Ireland, and San Marino, underlines their potential. However, the Kazakhs haven’t been consistent, suffering a defeat against Finland and, more recently, a 3-1 loss to Denmark. Like Finland, their hopes for automatic qualification might wane, but a playoff spot remains within reach due to their accomplishments in the Nations League’s League C.
In-Form Players and Team News
Finland’s injury list includes the notable absence of Nordsjaelland midfielder Oliver Antman, who had shone in the reverse fixture against Kazakhstan. The Finnish offensive machinery, which failed to register in their last two games, might see Joel Pohjanpalo introduced, providing additional firepower alongside Teemu Pukki. Moreover, winger Daniel Håkans, Group H’s leading scorer thanks to his remarkable performance against San Marino, could be a key figure in Finland’s gameplan.
Kazakhstan’s tactical considerations have to factor in potential suspensions, with five players just a booking away. Notable among them is Maksim Samorodov, who’s had a good run in Group H. Astana’s Abat Aymbetov is another player to watch out for, with his potential partnership with Samorodov forming a crucial component of Kazakhstan’s offensive strategy.
