The teams know each other well after recent meetings, but whereas Finland is mostly unchanged for several years the visitors keep on changing their management,and now it is time for Bulgarian Petov to make his debut on the bench!

Even if Finland are historically in the EURO2021 this summer and Bosnia not there is no one thinking Finland would qualify to World Cup from this group with their aging squad, and who already miss a few key players in the first games. Finland's qualificiation was an excellent effort and performance, but they also were lucky as their opponents underperformed badly, and most of them kept on firing management and having absolute key players injured. Also home support was big factor, today the gates are closed.

Finland manager Kanerva experimented with a 3/5 defenders form vs the stronger opponents, the main reason for it is that there not good enough full-backs for his preferred 4-4-2, and today laft back Uronen is suspended which makes the situation more difficult.

The backbone of the team, Leverkusen keeper Hradecky is injured, and although Joronen from Brescia is not at all bad Finland will miss the foot of Hradecky in build-up of the play. A few other regulars Lod, Raitala and Sparv have not basically played much or at all recently, and the midfield Dynamo Glen Kamara is distracted from the media attention and case of racism in Rangers - Slavia game last week. So Finland is far from full strenght, will sit deep and hope for Norwich striker Pukki to do some magic from his few chances. As the manager however is not known for radical changes he will always start with the biggest names available, despite form.

Likely lineups:

Pukki - Pohjanpalo

Kamara - Sparv - Lod

Hämäläinen - Raitala - Arajuuri - Toivio - Alho

Joronen

Bosnia could be 4-1-4-1, Visca is not playing, Dzeko a minor doubt.

Dzeko (Demirovic, Prevljak)

Gojak (Duljevic) - Krunic (Hadziahmetovic) - Pjanic (Rahmanovic) - Stevanovic (Menalo)

Cimirot (Loncar)

Kolasinac (Civic) - Sanicanin (Mihojevic) - Hadzikadunic (Ahmedhodzic) - Cipetic (Todorofic)

Sehic (Vasilj, Piric)

So there is turmoil behind the scenes in Bosnia as usual, they miss above all Visca, and Pjanic has been a huge disappointment in Barcelona. However today there will be more room for than usual, and I see Bosnia dominating this and winning without conceding many shots, and no goals.

0-2

两支球队在最近的几次会面后彼此都很了解，但是芬兰队几年来几乎没有什么变化，客队却在不断改变他们的管理方式，现在是时候让保加利亚的佩托夫在替补席上首次亮相了!

即使芬兰队历史性地参加了今年夏天的2021年欧洲冠军杯，而波斯尼亚没有，也没有人认为芬兰队将从这个小组出线，因为他们的阵容已经老了，而且他们已经在第一场比赛中错过了一些关键球员。芬兰队在预选赛中的表现非常出色，但他们也很幸运，因为他们的对手表现不佳，他们中的大多数人都在不停地换人，而且关键球员都受伤了。此外，主场的支持也是一个重要因素，今天大门关闭了。

芬兰队主教练卡内尔瓦尝试用3/5防守的阵型对抗更强大的对手，主要原因是没有足够好的边后卫来配合他喜欢的442阵型，而今天拉弗勒的后卫乌若宁被停赛，这使得情况更加困难。

球队的主力，勒沃库森的门将赫拉迪基受伤了，尽管来自布雷西亚的乔洛宁并不坏，但是芬兰队将在比赛中错过赫拉迪基。一些其他的常规球员洛德，雷塔拉和斯帕夫最近基本上没有打太多的比赛，中场迪纳摩人格伦。卡马拉被媒体的关注和上周流浪者队对斯拉维亚队的种族歧视所分散。所以芬兰队的实力还远未达到饱和，他们将坐等诺里奇前锋普基在他为数不多的机会中创造奇迹。然而，作为主教练，他并不以彻底的改变而闻名，他总是从最大牌的球员开始，不管他们的状态如何。

波黑的幕后一如既往的混乱，他们最想念的是维斯卡，而帕亚尼奇在巴塞罗那的表现让人大失所望。但是今天会有比平时更多的空间，我看到波斯尼亚统治了这场比赛，没有失球，没有进球。

预测比分0:2。
