vs 
Finland vs Malta
Finland is currently in third place with 10 points after seven matches and a goal difference of 8:13. The team has potential, but the results show inconsistency, especially against stronger opponents. The victory over Lithuania with a score of 2:1 gave them the confidence they needed, but losses to the Netherlands and Poland revealed weaknesses in their defense and difficulties in the creative part of the midfield. However, the Finns have a solid home game, with organized pressure and good use of set pieces. Their motivation is high, they need to win to keep their chances of advancing to the next stage alive.
Malta, on the other hand, is at the bottom of the table with only two points and a negative goal difference of 1:16. The team shows determination, but realistically, they lack the quality to compete with the stronger opponents in the group. Although they can sometimes surprise, like with their draw against Lithuania, their defense is often under constant pressure, leading to goals conceded even in the first half. In attack, they lack individual skill, and relying on single actions doesn’t yield results. When playing away, Malta traditionally struggles to create any initiative.
The gap in quality is significant, so Finland enters as a strong favorite. A match with complete control from the hosts and more scoring opportunities is expected.

Croatia vs Faroe Islands
Croatia is the absolute leader in the group with 16 points after six matches and an impressive goal difference of 20:1. The team is in excellent form and shows dominance in all areas. The defense is nearly flawless, allowing only one goal, while the attack is very effective. In the last six matches, Croatia has five wins and one draw, making them the clear favorite. The midfield controls the game with high intensity, and the forwards are a constant threat. At home, the Croatians are especially dangerous, often deciding matches in the first half.
The Faroe Islands are in third place with 12 points, which is surprisingly good for them, but it’s important to note that most of their points came from weaker opponents. The team has a disciplined approach and knows how to be tough to play against, but they lack quality in finishing and consistency in defense. Their recent wins against the Czech Republic and Montenegro show that they can take advantage of mistakes, but against the strongest teams, their performance usually falls short. They already lost to Croatia at home with a score of 0:1, which highlights the difference in quality.
Croatia will have complete control and is likely to dominate from start to finish. We expect a match with a lot of possession and many chances, but we also anticipate that the visitors might surprise and score a goal.

vs 
Gibraltar vs Montenegro
Gibraltar enters the competition in really bad shape, having not earned a single point in the qualifiers. With a goal difference of 2:20 and six straight losses, this team is the weakest in the group and shows major weaknesses all over the field. Their defense is very leaky, often allowing easy breakthroughs through the center, while their attack lacks precision and any ideas on how to create a serious chance.
The team usually plays defensively, but even that strategy isn’t working, as their physical stamina and organization are at a low level. Recent matches against the Faroe Islands, Czech Republic, and Croatia have only confirmed the limitations of the squad, which struggles to handle pressure and often gives up in the first 30 minutes.
Montenegro has 6 points and is in a tough spot to achieve more in this qualifying cycle. The team has played some good matches, but their defensive instability and the inconsistent form of key players are causing them issues. The win against Liechtenstein gave them the confidence they needed after a series of losses, but they were completely outplayed by stronger teams like Croatia and the Czech Republic.
Despite this, Montenegro has enough quality to dominate against Gibraltar, with experienced players who can decide the match through set pieces and long shots. The attack, led by fast wingers and aggressive pressing, should make a big difference in this duel.
We expect Montenegro to fully control the game from the very start and easily secure three points. The class difference is clear, and Gibraltar will likely only try to minimize their loss.

Luxembourg vs Germany
Luxembourg is currently at the bottom of the group with no points and a goal difference of 1:10 after four matches. Their performance has been terrible, with four consecutive losses and no goals scored in the last three games. The team plays defensively, but they make a lot of mistakes in positioning and have a weak transition. There is a lack of creativity in the midfield, and the attacking line rarely creates chances.
Recent losses to Germany, 0:4, and Slovakia 0:2, have highlighted the big gap in quality between Luxembourg and the other teams in the group. The only positive aspect is the team’s discipline, but against technically superior opponents, that is not enough.
Germany is currently in first place in the group with 9 points, a goal difference of 8:3, and a streak of three consecutive wins. The team plays tightly, with a strong defense and an attacking force that easily punishes any mistakes. In their last match against Luxembourg, they won convincingly 4:0, showing complete control and creating many chances. The midfield operates flawlessly, and the pace set by Germany is hard to keep up with. Their only loss in the group was at the start of this cycle against Slovakia, but since then, their performance has been on the rise.
We expect Germany to dominate again and easily secure three points. The match will likely be decided in the first half.

Poland vs Netherlands
Poland enters the competition with a great rhythm and a series of positive results that have secured them the second place in the group. With four wins, one draw, and just one loss, the team demonstrates balanced play and strong discipline across all positions. The defense is solid, and the midfield effectively controls the pace of the match, especially at home where the Poles rarely drop points.
The attack operates efficiently, with several different scorers consistently threatening the opponent’s goal. The recent victory against Lithuania showcased maturity and excellent finishing of chances, which boosts their confidence ahead of the clash with the strongest rival in the group.
Netherlands confirms its class and leadership position with 16 points and an impressive goal difference of 22:3. The team plays confidently and ruthlessly in attack, creating a lot of chances in almost every match. The midfield is the engine of the team, dominating possession, setting the pace, and allowing control of the game. The defense is strong and well-organized.
The Netherlands has a streak of five matches without a loss and will enter this duel aiming to maintain their lead at the top. The only draw in this qualifying cycle was against today’s opponent, and it happened at home where they played 1:1.
We expect a match with high tempo and intensity, especially in the midfield. Poland will try to use their home advantage for pressure and quick transitions, while the Netherlands will look to impose their game through ball control and fast wings.

Slovakia vs Northern Ireland
Slovakia is in great form, having earned 9 points from 4 matches, and is tied with Germany at the top of the table. The team has a solid goal difference of 5:2 and shows stability in defense, allowing only two goals in four games. Their play is based on a well-organized midfield, quick side transitions, and high tactical discipline. Recent victories over Luxembourg by 2:0 and Germany with the same score confirmed the team’s strength at home, where they play with more confidence and pressure in the attacking zone. The only loss was to Northern Ireland on their home ground, which adds extra motivation for this match.
Northern Ireland is in third place with 6 points from 4 matches and a goal difference of 6:5. The team plays hard, but they lack consistency in their attack and efficiency. Their recent loss to Germany, 0:1, ended their short positive streak, and away games are especially tough for them due to a lack of control in the midfield and difficulties in building attacks under pressure.
However, their victory over Slovakia, 2:0, in the previous match could give them a psychological boost and remind them that they can surprise with good organization and defensive discipline. Counter-attacking play and physical endurance will be their main strengths in Kosice.
We expected Slovakia to control the game, while Northern Ireland would try to punish any mistakes with counterattacks. Given their form, home advantage, and better organization, Slovakia is the favorite and should take the opportunity to secure second place.
