This is a crucial game in the context of Group G. Poland’s 1-1 draw against the Netherlands last time out has given them a platform which they can look to build on here against their direct rivals to qualify from the group.

Finland beat Poland 2-1 when the sides clashed a few months ago in Helsinki. Poland were unlucky not to get more from the game with 24 shots, nine of which found the target resulting in an xG of 1.51. However, Finland were pretty effective going forward themselves in generating an xG of 2.47 and matching that with two goals.

Finland are unlikely to just roll over here with this match presenting a pivotal moment in Group G. Netherlands are clear favourites now, but Poland can make up the ground to the Dutch with a win here. They may be able to claim those three points, but not without Finland putting up a fight and grabbing a goal as they look to have the edge heading into the next international break.

There is no doubt that Spain are the best attacking side in Europe, and possibly even the world with their dangerous duo of Yamal and Williams supported by an attacking structure which is energetic and deadly. 

However, Spain’s game plan does not centre around keeping clean sheets. They’re more than happy to try and outscore their opponents rather than focus on keeping them out. Spain’s clean sheet against Bulgaria last time out was the first clean sheet they’ve kept in six matches. 

On their run to the final of the European Championships, Spain failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their knockout matches. It’s not as though their defence is so poor that it is costing them matches, but opposition sides can get joy against a Spain side that does take a lot of risks.

As for Turikye, they scored three goals against Georgia last time out from just six shots and an xG of 0.73. We’ll need that level of clinical finishing here in a game where chances won’t be constant for the home side, but that recent over performance in xG is a good sign.

Türkiye netted nine goals across their six games in their Nations League B group with four of these goals coming at home. This is an important game for Türkiye, any sort of positive result would put some breathing space between them and their most likely challengers to qualify from the group in Georgia. 

Slovakia put in one of their most notable performances ever when they beat Germany 2-0 at home a few days ago. This was the first ever defeat that Germany have suffered on the road in a World Cup qualifier so it is a really significant victory. They can build on that win with all three points here, or at the very least by scoring a goal.

Slovakia’s win is massive because it chalks off one of their toughest assignments in Group A. The group also features Northern Ireland and Luxembourg, so Slovakia will now feel as though they can really push on and perhaps even challenge Germany to top the group, should Julian Nagelsmann’s side continue to falter.

Slovakia netted 10 goals across their six matches in their Nations League C group which also contained Sweden, Azerbaijan and Estonia. They’re now facing up against a Luxembourg side that conceded three goals at home to Northern Ireland last time out. Slovakia should be able to seize this opportunity and press home the early advantage they’ve managed to establish in this group.
