Ukraine played five matches in the qualification for the World Cup and tied in each of them. In September, the Ukrainians shared points with Kazakhstan away (2-2) and with France at home (1-1). Beyond that, the friendly match against the Czech Republic ended in a draw either (1-1). Both sides scored in each of Ukraine’s five matches in the current qualification. Bookmakers give a 2.06 coefficient on an exchange of goals in the upcoming game. Interestingly, the Ukrainians scored first in four out of five qualifying matches. Goals were scored in both halves in four out of five cases. In addition, two goals were scored in four out of five matches.
Ukraine usually scored in away matches of the World Cup qualifications. This was the case in the games against Kazakhstan and France, as well as in the match against Finland in 2017 (1-2 in favor of the Ukrainians). Then the Yellow-Blues scored both of their goals after the break. In the current qualification, Finland conceded after a break in three out of four matches. The French and the Ukrainians scored a goal each, while the Bosnians scored twice. Ukraine has already proved that it is capable of stepping up after the break, and the Finns will probably concede.
Prediction for the match: Ukraine to score over 0.5 goals in the second half
