Finland vs England Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds
The Three Lions look forward to returning to winning ways against Finland.
Finland are set to lock horns against reigning EURO 2024 silver medalist England in the upcoming UEFA Nations League Group F fixture at the Helsinki Olympic Stadium.
Finland had one of the most disappointing starts to their UEFA Nations League campaign after conceding three defeats in a row. In their last three encounters, they have merely scored a solitary goal and conceded seven. After facing humiliating defeats against table toppers Greece and England, Finland drew the first blood against Ireland in the seventeenth minute in their most recent encounter. However, goals from Scales and Brady ensured the Irish take all three points back home.
The EURO 2024 silver medalist had an optimistic start to their Nations League campaign after getting the better of Ireland and Finland in their opening two encounters. However, their winning streak and clean sheet record hit a roadblock in their recent encounter against Greece, which culminated in a scoreline of 2-1 in favour of the Greeks. An 87th-minute strike from Bellingham was not enough to equalise the score, leaving England empty-handed in their last match.
Kick-Off:
Sunday, 13 October 2024 at 9:30 PM IST
Location: Helinski Olympic Stadium, Helinski, Finland
Form:
Finland (in all competitions): L-L-L-D-L

Players to watch :
Glen Kamara (Finland)
The 28-year-old midfielder from Tampere will be tasked with the responsibility to dominate the midfield and control the tempo of the game. Kamara began his footballing journey as a young prodigy for the North London-based outfit Arsenal. After making over a century of appearances for the Rangers, he joined Leeds. Recently, he made his move to Rennes. He has made a total of 62 appearances for the Finland national team so far and will be looking forward to orchestrating the midfield in their upcoming clash against England.
Cole Palmer (England)
Englandâs medal colour could have been different if Cole Palmer received more opportunity to feature for at EURO 2024. The 6 feet 1-inch tall winger from Manchester has been a fan favourite at Stamford Bridge ever since his transfer for Chelsea in 2023.
Despite making just over ten appearances for the English side, he has been instrumental in scoring crucial and timely goals. At a time, when it felt, England had no chance for a comeback against Spain in the EURO Finals, it was Cole Palmer, whose strike kept England alive in the game.
