Scotland vs Finland Prediction: 7/6/2024

After a determined 2-0 victory over Gibraltar, Scotland aims to keep the momentum going by securing another win when they face Finland on Friday evening. The Scots are preparing for their EURO 2024 opener against Germany, and manager Steve Clark is expected to make several changes to the lineup for this match. Liam Cooper is unlikely to play after sustaining an injury in the last friendly, while both Kieran Tierney and Che Adams are anticipated to return to the starting lineup. Manchester United’s Scott McTominay remains a doubt.

Finland, on the other hand, showed resilience in their 4-2 defeat to a strong Portugal team on Tuesday. Veteran striker Teemu Pukki, who scored twice against Roberto Martinez’s side, is expected to be back in the starting lineup. There are no new injury concerns for Finland’s coach Markku Kanerva. Despite Finland’s spirited performance, a home win seems likely as Scotland has established Hampden Park as a formidable venue over the years.

Prediction: Scotland to edge out Finland with a 2-1 victory.
