The rivalry between England and Finland in the UEFA Nations League has been notably one-sided, with England securing four consecutive wins as part of a 17-match unbeaten streak against their neighbors. Finland, on the other hand, enters this match in poor form, having lost seven of their last eight league fixtures.
Low-scoring games have become the norm in England’s recent UEFA Nations League outings, with under 3.5 goals being recorded in 19 consecutive matches. Finland has displayed similar trends, as none of their last 19 matches at this level have seen more than three goals.
Defensively, England has been solid, conceding just one goal in their last six Nations League matches while earning 17 out of a possible 18 points. Given that both sides have managed to score in only one of Finland’s last nine league games, a different outcome in this encounter would be surprising.
Prediction
Finland enters this clash in poor form, having lost 12 of their last 16 Nations League matches. While England may not be at their very best this season, they have still managed to win eight of their previous 12 matches at this level.
Predicted Score: Finland 0 – 2 England
