Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

This one only looks like going one way and, unfortunately for the hosts, that way is Finland's. We predict Friday's visitors to Ta'Qali National Stadium will claim victory, and it's a view backed up by each side's respective recent form stats, head-to-head (H2H) records and the odds from bookmakers too. They make an away win in the win / draw / win market the most likely outcome, and are offering a best price of 1.57.
