Finland's scoring was not just a late rush
Pohjanpalo, Adrian Svanbäck and Benjamin Källman scored before half-time against San Marino. Leo Walta made it 4-0 in the 50th minute, before Alessandro Golinucci was sent off.
Walta added another goal and Pohjanpalo completed his hat-trick after the red card. San Marino were weak opposition, but Finland had already settled the contest at eleven against eleven.
Belarus allowed too many attempts
Albania had 20 shots to Belarus's eight on Saturday. Kristjan Asllani's penalty and Ernest Muçi's goal before half-time secured a 2-0 win, with Belarus managing only two efforts on target.
The visitors avoided further damage after the break. Their problem was producing enough at the other end to change the game, an issue Finland can exploit if they take another early lead.
Belarus will offer more resistance
Belarus are a stronger opponent than San Marino, and Albania converted only three of those 20 attempts into shots on target. Tuesday should therefore be a more demanding test of Finland's finishing.
Pohjanpalo's hat-trick was supported by goals from three teammates, while Belarus arrive after being outshot heavily and failing to score. Finland have more attacking contributors in form.
Verdict
Take Finland to win @1.64. Their productive opening attack faces a Belarus side that conceded too many attempts in Albania.
