NFN Match report here, FT 1-1
I will update this when I get more info of who they are fielding, but a bit experimental Germany side with motivated young players fighting for their spot in front of a home crowd is way better than Finland with suspensions for two key defenders, injured and old and unemployd and ready-to-retire old timers.
Germany is about 80 % favourite in this, -1.25 with average goal expectations shows big value at 1.96

Kicker guess for Finland is not bad, not it should read like this;
Jääskeläinen - Lampi, Hyypiä, Heikkinen, Moisander -K.Hämäläinen, - Tim Sparv - R. Eremenko, Roni Porokara - Jari Litmanen - J.Johansson
I am especially worried about the right flank defensively. Hämäläinen and Lampi?
FT 1-1 with a late Germany equalizer. I knew this was going to happen sooner or later, that my max stake goes bust, but I really was not expecting it here.
