Finland have a home match against Slovenia as they look to stabilize in Group H of Euro 2024 qualifiers. The hosts will be seeking to rise from fourth in the group when they welcome the leaders in Helsinki. In their second group game, Finland beat Northern Ireland 1-0 away from home. That made it three wins in 15 for Finland. Meanwhile, with the win they stopped a three-game losing streak and it was also the first win in seven games. Finland haven't been at their best; their woes are captured in the fact they have two clean sheets only in 10 matches. Twice in the last five matches, they’ve failed to score, while four of those five games have had under 2.5 goals. One win in eight home matches further highlights their struggles coming into this game.
Slovenia are coming into this game in top form and seeking to extend their leadership of the group. They’ve won both opening matches and with that, extended their winning run to four straight matches. The 2-0 win over San Marino in their latest game was their eighth straight game without a loss. Slovenia have posted five wins in those eight matches. Scoring twice in three of their last four matches will also give them confidence going into this game. While they have good numbers on the attacking front, three of their last five matches have produced under 2.5 goals. Slovenia will however seek to do better defensively on the road. They have one clean sheet in five away matches, but a four-game unbeaten run is something to look to.
Slovenia will seek to extend their leadership in this group and they have form to back them. Coming here with four straight wins and a better scoring run should give them the needed confidence. Finland haven't won much in recent games, and though playing at home, we feel they will struggle here too. Our prediction for Finland v Slovenia is for Slovenia to win, and under 2.5 goals.
