Finland vs Slovenia match preview
With Denmark odds-on favourites to top Group H, these two are the leading candidates to take second place, making these head-to-head encounters vitally important.
Finland began their campaign away to the top-seeds, beaten 3-1 by their Nordic rivals, conceding twice late on at Parken, after Oliver Antman had stunned Copenhagen silent with an equaliser.
Three days later though, Markku Kanervaβs men were able to get their campaign up-and-running, recording a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Northern Ireland in Belfast, with Benjamin KΓ€llman the match-winner.
The Eagle-Owls made their long-awaited major tournament debut at Euro 2020, so are desperate to get there again.
As for Slovenia, theyβre the only side in Group H who currently have maximum points on the board, beating Kazakhstan 2-1 in Nur-Sultan before a 2-0 victory over San Marino in Ljubljana.
David Brekalo and Ε½an Vipotnik the scorers at Astana Arena, while Benjamin Ε eΕ‘ko and an own goal secured the points at Stadion StoΕΎice.
The man who led them in South Africa 13 years ago MatjaΕΎ Kek returned as manager in 2018, desperately hoping this is the year he can end his countryβs major tournament exile.
Will either take a gigantic step towards next summerβs European Championships with a victory at Helsinki Olympiastadion?
Finland team news
As ever, Teemu Pukki, whoβs currently a free agent, will be Finlandβs main man for goals, with 25 of his 37 at international level coming since September 2018.
Goalkeeper LukΓ‘Ε‘ HrΓ‘deckΓ½ will win his 84th cap, joining Tim Sparv and Erkka PetΓ€jΓ€ in joint-eighth on the Finnish all-time record appearance holders list.
Key midfielder Robin Lod is out injured.
Slovenia team news
Slovenia are without their captain, goalkeeper Jan Oblak whoβs sidelined, which is a massive blow, meaning Vid Belec will be given a rare opportunity between the sticks.
AndraΕΎ Ε porar and Benjamin Ε eΕ‘ko will lead the attack, the latter having scored five international goals in the past 12 months, including an outrageous volley away to Sweden in September.
