Finland is set to face Greece in a Nations League match this Sunday, and fans are keen to see how the teams perform.
Finland heads into this game hoping to bounce back from a recent 3-1 defeat to England. In that match, Finland held 31% possession and took 13 shots, with three on target.
Their sole goal came from Arttu Hoskonen in the 87th minute, while England scored through Jack Grealish, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Declan Rice. Finland’s recent games have seen plenty of action, with a combined 22 goals in their last six matches, including six goals scored by Finland.
Greece, meanwhile, comes into the match in strong form following a 2-0 win over Ireland. Greece controlled 55% of possession and attempted 21 shots, with seven on target, as Anastasios Bakasetas and Petros Mantalos scored the winning goals.
Greece’s defense has been reliable, allowing just three goals over their last six games, while they have scored 12 during this period.
Since 2015, Finland and Greece have each won three of their head-to-head matches without any draws.
On average, these encounters have seen 1.83 goals per game, with Greece narrowly leading in total goals at 6-5. Their last meeting ended in a 3-0 victory for Greece, with goals from Fotis Ioannidis and an own goal by Benjamin Källman.
Both teams are fielding full squads, as confirmed by managers Markku Kanerva for Finland and Ivan Jovanović for Greece.
Prediction
Finland may face challenges against Greece’s solid defense, while Greece is expected to gain a slight edge with a goal. The match is likely to be close, with a predicted 1-0 win for Greece and fewer than 3.5 goals in total.
