The World Cup Qualifiers in Europe are getting tricky: Accumulator Tips for June 10, 2025

This Tuesday marks the end of the qualifying matches for the World Cup scheduled for June. Among them, the most interesting duel will be the one between Finland and Poland in Helsinki. Of course, nothing less interesting will be in the duels between Romania and Cyprus and Serbia versus Andorra, where the hosts are under pressure to get all three points. Tonight, the qualifiers for the next World Cup continue in the European zone. There aren't many matches on the schedule, but each one is very important because the competition system is such that there isn't much room for make-up games.

Finland vs Poland

Finland and Poland will meet on Tuesday night at the Helsinki Olympic Stadium. Finland have played two matches in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. They first beat Malta 1-0 away after struggling in attack. This was followed by another away match in Lithuania, where the match ended in a 2-2 draw. In the Nations League, Finland started their campaign away to England at Wembley, where they lost 2-0. A month later, they hosted Ireland, but suffered a 2-1 defeat in a tense match. The Polish national football team has shown solid form so far in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Placed in Group G, Poland has faced challenging opponents, but has managed to achieve several key victories. The Poles opened the qualifiers with a convincing 1-0 victory over Lithuania. This was followed by a slightly easier match against Malta, where they scored two goals thanks to the agile striker Swiderski, who scored both times. Malta had no chance in this match. Poland is now first in the group, but the toughest matches are yet to come. They will have to press hard against Finland, as this team is the main favorite for second place, assuming that the Netherlands are a class above them. After a poor run in the Nations League, Finland continues their poor run. They failed to beat a much weaker Lithuania and then lost to the Netherlands as expected. Now they play against Poland, who are also a quality team, have several successful qualifiers behind them and know how to play these kinds of matches. The guests will be the favorites in this match, and I expect less than 2.5 goals to be scored by the end.

Romania vs Cyprus

Romania and Cyprus will face off in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers on Tuesday. The match will be played at the National Arena. Romania failed to match Austria's performance last Saturday in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. They were trailing 2-0 until the very end of the match, when their striker managed to reduce the Austrians' lead, but that was it. Before this defeat, they lost 0-1 at home to Bosnia and Herzegovina, missing numerous scoring opportunities. This was followed by a match against San Marino, which Romania won 5-1. The Cypriot national football team twice nullified Bulgaria's lead in a friendly match played at the Hristo Botev Stadium last Friday. Before that draw, they also played two matches in the qualifiers. The duel against Romania ended in a 1-4 defeat in Bucharest, where the Cypriots were unable to match the strong attack of the hosts. Earlier, at home in Larnaca, Cyprus won 2-1 against Lithuania, in a match where they showed fighting spirit and tactical discipline. Romania lost their last qualifying match to Austria, but they did not play as badly as the result suggests. This team needs a little boost, and we expect them to find it in the match against Cyprus. Cyprus does not have much of a chance in this group, but they will certainly fight to the end in every match. I expect over 2.5 goals in a match in which Romania has an absolute advantage.

Lineups:

🔖Romania confirmed lineup (4-4-2):

Moldovan - Ratiu, Popescu, Burca, Bancu - Man, Marin, Chiriches, Tanase - Birligea, Dragus

Head Coach: Mircea Lucescu

🔖 Cyprus confirmed lineup (4-2-3-1):

Mall - Satsias, SielIs, Laifis, Pileas - Kastanos, Kypriakou - Loizou, Kosti, Kakoullis - Koutsakos

Head Coach: Apostolos Mantzios

Serbia vs Andorra

Serbia will continue their 2026 World Cup Qualifiers campaign on Tuesday. They will host Andorra at home. The match will be played at the Dubocica City Stadium in Leskovac. Serbia played solidly against Albania last Saturday, but did not show much interest in the opponent's goal. It seems that the team led by Dragan Stojkovic chose a defensive tactic, hoping for a goal from a set piece, but that did not happen. Albania played a little better, but the score remained 0:0. Before this match, Serbia secured a place in the Nations League play-offs against Austria. The first leg ended 1:1, while they won the return leg 2:0. Andorra put up a strong resistance to England last Saturday in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. They closed in front of their own goal and rarely crossed half the field. In such circumstances, the English scored only one goal, in the 50th minute. Harry Kane was precise. In the meantime, they have played two World Cup qualifiers. They lost 0:1 to Latvia at home, while they suffered a defeat in Albania (0:3). The match between Serbia and Albania showed all the weaknesses of the Serbian national team. When they do not control the central part of the field, they do not create scoring opportunities. Albania are a much stronger opponent than Andorra, but the question remains how capable the Serbian attackers will be of breaking through the strong defense. I expect less than 3.5 goals in this match.

Lineups:

🔖Serbia confirmed lineup (3-4-1-2):

Petrovic - Erakovic, Milenkovic, Pavlovic - Nedeljkovic, Gudelj, Maksimovic, Terzic - Samardzic - Vlahovic, Mitrovic

Head Coach: Dragan Stojkovic

🔖 Andorra confirmed lineup (5-4-1):

Alvarez - Borra, Llovera, Vales, C. Garcia, San Nicolas - Rodrigo, Guillen, Babot, Cervos - Fernandez

Head Coach: Koldo Alvarez
