The match

Finland’s chances of making it to the round of 16 are still in their hands, even as they prepare to face the world’s best ranked nation – Belgium. This is their first appearance at a major tournament and so far they’ve shown the ability to match the more established nations. Going here they have three points from a win over Denmark but are coming from a loss to Russia, which threatens to end their time in this competition. Credit to Finland, they pushed well against Russia and while they know a win over Belgium is a tall order, they will be targeting at least a point from this game. Their run of form however, isn’t the best, with four losses in the last five matches and they will have to address this aspect of their game. Also, they haven’t been consistent in scoring; the last four games have produced just one goal and Norwich forward Teemu Pukki has failed to inspire the team, scoring just one in their last six matches and that came through a penalty. Union Berlin man Joel Pohjanpalo has been their main threat in attack, and he has scored three goals in the last five matches, which is all Finland have managed in those five matches. Pohjanpalo even had a goal ruled out in the Russia game.

Belgium had to come from behind to beat a tough Denmark side that pushed them to the end in the second group game. At the final whistle, Belgium had a deserved 2-1 win but the result seemed really harsh to the Danes. On to this game, Belgium have already secured their place in the knockout stage and we expect changes to rest key players. Roberto Martinez had to unleash Kevin De Bruyne and Eden Hazard on Denmark and the two changed the game, with De Bruyne scoring and assisting as he made an immediate impact. With the two struggling with injuries before this competition, they will be expected to start against Finland as they build their fitness levels, which means this will still be a strong Belgium side. Belgium have four wins in their last five matches and kept three clean sheets in that period, while they have scored two or more in three and seen three of the five matches produce over 2.5 goals.

Key Statistics

  • Belgium have four wins in their last five matches.
  • Finland have no goal in three of their last four matches.
  • Belgium have scored 15 goals in their last five matches.
  • Finland’s last four matches have produced under 2.5 goals.
  • Three of Belgium’s last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals.

The bet of our experts

Belgium will still be superior to Finland even without their key players, as we expect them to be rested ahead of the knockouts. Finland could do with a draw here and we expect them to sit back but keeping out Belgium for the entire game will be a tall order. With this strategy though, the goals in this game will be less so we can bank on under 2.5 goals, also considering Finland haven’t been conceding a lot.
