2 Finland - Hungary Saturday 13 June 2015 - 18.00CET (19.00 local time) Match press kit Helsinki Olympic Stadium, Helsinki Match background

Finland will look to arrest a recent slump as they take on Hungary, who have gone four games unbeaten in UEFA EURO 2016 qualifying Group F and have not conceded in their three most recent fixtures. Previous meetings • Hungary's 1-0 win against Finland back in November means that Finland's record in 15 meetings with their guests is W2 D3 L10 (W1 D1 L5 in Helsinki). In competitive fixtures alone, that record is W1 D2 L4 (W1 D1 L1 in Finland). • Their last competitive encounters were in UEFA EURO 2012 qualifying. Sándor Egervári's Hungary beat Stuart Baxter's Finland 2-1 in Helsinki on 12 October 2010, Balázs Dzsudzsák (90+4) striking after Mikael Forssell (86) had cancelled out a 50th-minute opener from Ádám Szalai. With Paatelainen in charge, Finland held Hungary to a 0-0 draw in the corresponding fixture in Budapest on 11 October 2011. • The sides had previously met in qualifying for the 1980 final tournament. Aulis Rytkönen's Finland beat Ferenc Kovács' Hungary 2-1 in Helsinki on 20 September 1978, Atik Ismail (30) and Seppo Pyykkö (53) striking before László Tieber (74) replied for Hungary. • Under Károly Lakat, Hungary avenged that defeat when the sides reconvened in Debrecen on 17 October 1979. Miikka Toivola (47) responded for Esko Malm's Finland after László Fekete (22, 42) had given Hungary a 2-0 lead at the break, but György Tatár (49) promptly put the seal on a 3-1 win. • The nations' only other competitive encounters were in 1998 FIFA World Cup qualifying. On 1 September 1996, Ferenc Orosz's 15th-minute goal earned János Csank's Hungary a 1-0 home success, and while Antti Sumiala (63) gave Richard Møller Nielsen's side the lead in the return fixture on 11 October 1997, Vilmos Sebők (90) snatched a 1- 1 draw at the death. Form guide • Finland have lost their last three Group F games after taking four points from their opening two: a 3-1 defeat of the Faroe Islands and a 1-1 draw against Greece. They have yet to record a home win in Group F. • Hungary are unbeaten in their last four Group F outings (W2 D2) and have not conceded in their most recent three matches in the section. • Hungary have not scored more than once in a Group F game, having notched four goals in five matches so far.

Trivia and links • Finland's Kasper Hämäläinen are team-mates of Hungary's Tamás Kádár at KKS Lech Poznań in Poland. • In 11 UEFA age-group tournament meetings between the nations, Hungary's record is W7 D0 L4. Most recently, Hungary beat Finland 3-2 in a 2013 UEFA European Under-17 Championship qualifier. • The nations' clubs have met eight times in UEFA competition, with the Hungarian sides boasting the record W6 D1 L1. That lone defeat came in the most recent encounter, a 1-0 success for HJK Helsinki at home against MTK Budapest in the second leg of a 2003/04 UEFA Champions League second qualifying round tie, MTK ultimately going through 3-2 on aggregate.

Although relegation followed a year later, Paatelainen won another promotion before leaving for a single season at Wolves in 1997/98. • Headed back to Scotland and Hibernian in 1998, breaking for a short and injury-plagued spell at Strasbourg in 2001/02. The final campaign of his playing days, which also featured 18 goals in 70 games for Finland, was at St Mirren in 2004/05, when he also worked as the club's assistant manager. • Took charge of Cowdenbeath in 2005, securing the side's first divisional title in 67 years in his only full season. Also a success during a solitary campaign at TPS, in January 2008 he earned his first top-flight assignment with Hibernian. Left Easter Road in May 2009, later returning to management at Kilmarnock before being appointed Finland coach in March 2011. Pál Dárdai Date of birth: 16 March 1976 Nationality: Hungarian Playing career: Pécsi MFC, BVSC Budapest, Hertha BSC Berlin Coaching career: Hungary (caretaker) • A central midfielder, Dárdai won 61 caps for Hungary and scored five goals, spending the best of his playing days with German club Hertha. • Started out at home-town club Pécs in 1991, moving on to BVSC four years later. In 1996 he was a runner-up in both the Hungarian league and cup with BVSC before beginning a long association with Hertha the following year. • While in Berlin, Dárdai finished third in the in 1999, was twice a League Cup winner in 2001 and 2002, and won the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 2006. • Unable to prevent Hertha's relegation in 2010, Dárdai retired at the end of the following, promotion-winning, campaign, as Hertha's record appearance holder with 286 Bundesliga matches to his name. • Replaced Attila Pintér as Hungary coach on 18 September 2014 as part of an initial three-match agreement on a voluntary basis until the end of the year. In doing so, he became Hungary's youngest national team coach since Mihály Pataki in 1930. • In December signed a contract to lead Hungary for the rest of UEFA EURO 2016 qualifying, retaining his role with Hertha's academy.

Records of inactive countries A number of UEFA associations have been affected by dissolution or splits of member associations. For statistical purposes, the records of these inactive countries have been allocated elsewhere: therefore, all Soviet Union matches are awarded to Russia; all – but not East Germany – matches are awarded to Germany; all Yugoslavia and Serbia & Montenegro matches are awarded to Serbia; all Czechoslovakia matches are allocated to both the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Abandoned/forfeited matches For statisical purposes, when a match has been started and then abandoned but later forfeited, the result on the pitch at the time of abandonment is counted.
