Kazakhstan Betting Preview
Kazakhstan comes into this game tied for first place in Group H having picked up nine points. Kazakhstan has found a ton of success and they have won each of their last four games. Abat Aimbetov scored in the 88th minute against Northern Ireland and that was the difference as they secured the 1-0 victory. Kazakhstan had 40 percent of the possession and two shots on target. Vyacheslav Shvyrev and Vladislav Prokopenko have both been called up to the National Team and they both could make their first appearances for their country. One surprise is that Gabyshev wasn’t selected for the team this time around.
Finland Betting Preview
On the other side of this matchup is Finland who comes into this game tied for first place in Group H having picked up nine points. Finland has won three games in a row and during the three games they have scored nine goals and given up zero. On June 19th against San Marino, Finland scored six goals. Daniel Hakans scored three goals in that game. Finland had 80 percent of the possession and 11 shots on target. Teemu Pukki who now plays for Minnesota United and he’s expected to get the start in this game. Lukas Hradecky is going to get the start in this game.
Shane’s Free Pick
These are the two teams on top of the group, and a big reason has been because of the offense. Finland’s offense especially has been strong as of late and Pukki is going to score a couple of goals here. Kazakhstan is going to also find the back of the nets. It wouldn’t be shocking if there are five or six goals scored here. Back the over 2.5 goals to cash here. This is a very strong play.
