Estonia - Finland

Finland starting 11; Eremenko JR is unlikely to play today.

1 Jukka Lehtovaara
2 Veli Lampi
3 Niklas Moisander
4 Tim Sparv
5 Ari Nyman
8 Mehmet Hetemaj
13 Juska Savolainen
19 Mika Ääritalo
17 Roni Porokara
10 Jari Litmanen
11 Juho Mäkelä

A couple of interesting plans from the head coach Stuart Baxter;

In the first half the mf triangle will be Jari Litmanen on top of Mehmet Hetemaj and Juska Savolainen, on the 2nd half Baxter is preparing himself for a Post-Litmanen Era, the triangle will be turned upside down with Tim Sparv as the anchor man and Roman Eremenko and Mika Väyrynen on top of him.

Sparv will also feature as a center-back in the first half and he is clearly having a big role in Baxter´s mind in the future.

An interview in english; Stuart Baxter, the head coach of Finland.

Asian odds Estonia 0 2.29 - Finland 0 1.69. Can not really argue with that until I know who are playing.


EDIT: New players invited for Finland, Mikael Forssell, Hannover and Juho Mäkelä HJK, both strikers.
