Finland are set to play their third game of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, when they host Kazakhstan in Group D. The hosts are coming from a 0-0 draw with Wales, which left them third in the group with two points and face bottom placed Kazakhstan who also have two points. Finland could rise to second spot with an improved result, and to get that they have to sharpen in attack, having failed to score in five of their last six matches. Asa result, each of their last six matches has yielded under 2.5 goals, with the team scoring just one goal in the six matches. Their only win in the last 10 matches was against Denmark at Euro 2020, and it marked one of two clean sheets in the last 11 matches. In their last four World Cup qualification matches, Finland are winless, but they have no loss in six at home in the same competition. Seven of their last 10 World Cup qualification matches have produced under 2.5 goals, and the same has been seen in seven of their last 10 home matches in the competition, with Finland winning just two of 10 at home.

Kazakhstan have no win in their last 10 matches; they’ve lost six in that run and failed to score in five. They head to this game looking to address that run and after rising from two goals down to hold Ukraine to a 2-2 draw in their last game, they will feel capable of shocking their hosts here. Just as Finland, a win could see Kazakhstan rise to second spot, but to get there, they’ll have to address their poor away run that has them winless in the last five matches. They have also failed to win in any of their last 16 World Cup qualification matches, losing 10 of them. In the last 10 away matches in World Cup qualification, Kazakhstan have eight losses, and have conceded three or more in seven of them.
