The 0-2 win over San Marino is actually a rather poor result from N. Ireland, but it is a win, and wins count. The coach O'Neill who already earlier has coached the country for 10 years is back, and hungry for success.

It is true that the player material is not extremely good, they are very much an example of traditional British football, on transfer market values they are more or less similar with Finland today when all the best players are available, but they are hard to beat and good in defending one goal at any cost in case they happen to go ahead.

Against San Marino O'Neill played with a 3-man defense and perhaps they continue with the same tonight. Still, the key in this match is how well Finland can defend their own box as it will rain crosses and the wingbacks, attacking midfielders and the attackers will crowd the box.

It will be a busy night for the Finnish centrebacks and the times of Arajuuri and Toivio are badly missed as the current ones - significantly when also Hoskonen got injured in the last game and O'Shaughessy and Uronen are already out - are not that strong in the air.

Apart from the injuries - Mäenpää also left the team from the Finnish side - there will not be many changes at either side. The Finnish left side looks very vulnerable today.

Both goals in the San Marino win both goals were scored by League One striker Dion Charles from Bolton. It does not sound like a very high class standard of a player, but Finnish striker status is also at best from one step above at Championship or Serie B, and all in all the hosts can field a basically Championship side and to add with a Newcastle wingback Jamal Lewis.

The latest starting lineups:

In short, neither of the teams is very good, but the hosts are stronger, meaner, more straightforward and my favourites to win this match almost by a 46 % probability.

Good luck!

0-2战胜圣马力诺实际上是北爱尔兰的一个相当糟糕的结果，但这是一场胜利，胜利很重要。早前已经执教国家队10年的奥尼尔教练回来了，他渴望成功。

的确，他们的球员材料并不是特别好，他们在很大程度上是传统英国足球的一个例子，在转会市场上，他们或多或少与今天的芬兰相似，当时所有最好的球员都可以得到，但他们很难被击败，而且在万一他们恰好领先的情况下，他们擅长不惜任何代价捍卫一个进球。

在对阵圣马力诺的比赛中，奥尼尔使用了三人防守，也许今晚他们会继续这样做。不过，这场比赛的关键在于芬兰队能在多大程度上防守好自己的禁区，因为边后卫、进攻型中场和进攻者将会挤在禁区内。

对于芬兰中后卫来说，这将是一个忙碌的夜晚，阿拉朱里和托伊维奥的时代将被严重怀念，因为目前的两名中后卫——尤其是霍斯科宁在上一场比赛中受伤，奥肖加西和乌洛宁已经缺阵——在空中的力量并不强大。

除了伤病——Mäenpää也离开了芬兰队——双方都不会有太多变化。芬兰队的左路今天看起来非常脆弱。

圣马力诺的两粒进球都是由来自博尔顿的英甲前锋迪翁·查尔斯打进的。这听起来不像是一个非常高水平的球员，但芬兰前锋的地位也最多比英冠或意乙高出一步，总的来说，东道主可以派出一支基本上是英冠的球队，再加上纽卡斯尔的边后卫贾马尔·刘易斯。

最新首发阵容

简而言之，两支球队都不太好，但东道主更强、更刻薄、更直率，我认为他们赢得这场比赛的可能性几乎为46%。
