Finland national team take on the visitors Kosovo in the round 1 match of qualification for the World Cup 2016. The match will be played in Turku at Veritas Stadium on Monday, September 5th.
Finland never involved in battles for top places in qualifying groups, finishing mainly on 4-5 places and averaging about 10 points per campaign which is obviously not enough to challenge top national teams. Finland played seven international friendlies in 2016, showing disappointing results: one draw and six defeats with 1-16 on aggregate. The team is unable to win in their last nine matches in a row for a little less than a year. The most recent win was taken in September last year over Faroe Islands, 1-0.

Kosovo will play their first official match in the history of the county. The team played seven international friendlies before, taking wins over Oman and Faroe Islands, drawing twice and losing three matches. The team is likely to be involved in battles for a place in top-4 of the qualifying group and they have small chances succeed in it.
Of course, the team haven’t met before, which is not surprise. Finland national team get an excellent opportunity to end their poor run of results in home clash against unexperienced Kosovo and should aim only for a victory in this match.
Prediction for the match: Finland to win.
