Finland v England Betting Tips [13 October 2024]

Finland and England will get back to the pitch looking to rise from defeats in their latest Nations League matches. The Three Lions arrive for this game placed second in Group B2, while The Eagle-owls are bottom. Read on for our prediction for the match. 

The hosts haven't had it easy in recent times. They suffered their third straight defeat on Thursday, 2-1 at home to the Republic of Ireland. That was the eighth time they failed to keep a clean sheet and the fifth straight game in which they conceded two or more. 

This form will not be very encouraging ahead of another tough game. In their first meeting with England in this group, they lost 2-0. 

England are also coming from a home defeat, beaten 2-1 by Greece on Thursday. Jude Bellingham thought he had stolen a point but Evangelos Pavlidis scored his second of the night late on. 

It was a surprising but deserving result and England will want to improve on their travel to Finland. While they maintained their good scoring run, failing to win put a spin on all the growth seen in recent months. 

The Three Lions have scored in nine of the last 10 matches but will hope to do more than just scoring here. An eight-game unbeaten run against Finland should offer a mental boost as they head to Helsinki.

In their last 13 away matches England’s only loss was against European champions Spain. That was in the Euro 2024 final in June. 

England and Finland are looking to bounce back from defeats at home in their last outings. Finland, the underdogs in this game, have scored in each of the last four home matches, but kept only one clean sheet. All their last four home matches produced over 2.5 goals.

England are also bringing to this game a good scoring run and will be confident of extending the same here. Our prediction for Finland v England is for over 2.5 goals and both teams to score.
