Finland are winless in their last six internationals, in which they drew one and lost five. They conceded 16 goals while scoring six themselves.

Ireland delivered some rather mediocre results so far in the Nations League B.

Finland have been awful so far in the Nations League B, as they haven't picked up a single point in the group. They have just two matches left to show a bit of will.

Ireland find it tough these days to get a goal in, but Finland are equally lacklustre in front of goal currently, and going with under 2.5 goals in the betting market is the obvious choice.
