A crucial match for both sides. The winner could make a huge move to the Euro 2024 final round.
Slovenia are unbeaten at home in the last 5 official games (including Euro 2024 and the Nations League, W3, D2).
Meanwhile, Finland, who were on a 5-match winning streak, played quite well against Denmark despite suffering a narrow defeat.
Considering the fact that in the first game, Finland secured a confident victory against Slovenia, we expect them at least to draw in this matchup.
Prediction: Finland win or draw
Ukraine triumphed over their opponents in the previous 4 h2h meetings. Therefore we think that they will draw at least in this game.
Betting Tip: Total goals under 3.5
The battle for the first two spots in Group H is underway.
After six rounds, this group has two leaders: Slovenia and Denmark. Both teams have collected 13 points, but due to a better goal difference, Slovenia is sitting in first place.
Next to them are Finland and Kazakhstan, with 12 points.
In game week 7, Slovenia will host Finland, while Denmark will play against Kazakhstan at home.
Slovenia is enjoying a great period. They are undefeated in the last 3 games (W2, D1). The only loss in this campaign came against Finland (0:2).
Meanwhile, Finland’s 5-match winning streak came to an end when they met Denmark in September. It seemed that the match against the Danish side would end 0:0, but Pierre-Emile Højbjerg’s goal in the 86th minute of the match became crucial.
However, Suomi can’t afford to make another mistake.
There is also a positive thing. If you compare Finland’s fixtures with their potential opponent’s schedule, Suomi has an “easy” one.After the Slovenian game, Finland will face Kazakhstan, Northern Ireland, and San Marino. The last two are just playing out the rest of the games.
