Finland has demonstrated a confident performance in the qualifiers, sitting third in their group and with a realistic chance of qualifying, just three points behind the top two. The team has demonstrated balanced results, especially in home matches, where they feel more comfortable, even beating Poland.
Lithuania is in a crisis, having gone winless in five qualifying matches. The team has serious problems both offensively and defensively, which is reflected in their low position in the standings.
Given the difference in class, the Finns' motivation, and home advantage, the hosts have every chance of winning.
