Finland will be hoping for nothing less than a win when they entertain France at the Olympiastadion in Helsinki. World Champions France have already qualified by securing top spot while Finland are in second spot on 11 points. The home team knows that anything other than a win will leave their qualification to the promotional playoff out of their control. Finland come into this match in good form having won their last two matches which included a 3-1 away win in their last match against Bosnia & Herzegovina. They have third placed Ukraine just two points below and if they lose or draw and the Ukrainians win then they will be demoted to third place. Finland has a patchy home record with a win, a draw and a loss. Their task is all the more daunting as they have lost all three of their previous home matches against France.

France are sitting safe and sound at the summit of the group in the knowledge that they have booked their ticket to Qatar. They have sailed through their qualifying campaign with four wins and three draws. They may have qualified but they still hold the key as to which team will finish second in the group. The French have only been defeated once in their last seventeen matches across all competitions. That defeat was at the Euro Championships where they lost to Switzerland on penalties. Their record is just impressive over the last thirty games, losing just twice in that period. The other defeat was against their opponents in this match, a 2-0 loss at home albeit in a Friendly international.
