Finland are coming from a 2-0 loss to France and will be looking to bounce back in Group D of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers when they host Ukraine. Finland have five points so far and are third in the pool; Ukraine have a similar tally but have a better goal difference, which places them in second place. Group leaders France are away in the Nations League and Finland, who have two games in hand can gain massive ground on them in this international break. Finland have failed to score in four of their last five matches and have just two clean sheets in the last five matches. With six losses in 10 matches, they have a lot of improvement to do and perhaps that should start with fortifying the defence, having conceded two in three of the last five World Cup qualification matches. Both teams have also scored in three of those five matches. While they have scored in all of their last five home matches in World Cup qualifiers, they have conceded two or more goals in three of the five. They go to this game unbeaten in the last four matches in World Cup qualifying matches at home.

Ukraine are unbeaten in their five matches in this group but have also not managed a win; all their matches have ended in draws. They've played one game more than Finland in this group. Heading to this game, they have one win in the last five matches, and also one loss. Both teams have scored in four of their last five matches and each of their last five matches in World Cup qualification have also seen both sides score. Ukraine have no clean sheet in their last six matches in World Cup qualifiers. They have two wins in eight away games in World Cup qualification and have conceded two or more in four. Against Finland, they are unbeaten in three matches, winning two.
