The new coach of Poland debuts with a prestigious drawPoland started the qualifiers with two consecutive home wins without conceding a goal, although they were against teams like Lithuania and Malta. This was followed by a lost visit to Finland with a score of 1:2, which turned out to be the last match for coach Michal Probierz. Now at the helm is another Pole in the person of Jan Urban, who made a prestigious debut on Thursday, and Poland finished 1:1 as a guest against the Netherlands. The coach will certainly want to achieve his first victory at the helm of the team now, especially since Poland has three consecutive home wins without conceding a goal.
Finland has the same number of points as its opponent. They recorded a victory against Poland at home, as well as one against Malta away so far. They also drew with Lithuania as guests, but overall, they rarely win away against more serious opponents. They have two victories in their last 10 away matches, but those were against teams like San Marino and Malta, and only by a goal difference.
Prediction: Poland to win and under 3.5 goalsAfter the draw against the Netherlands, I expect Poland to win their home match against Finland. They lost on Finnish soil, but now on their own ground and with a new coach, I expect them to handle the Finns in a match with no more than three goals.
