Netherlands start the World Cup qualifiers with a visit to Finland and will look to confirm their good form. Against Finland, they have complete dominance in direct duels - they have won their last four clashes against this opponent without much difficulty. All this emphasizes their serious superiority.
Finland with difficulties at homeFinland have not lost in their first two qualifying matches, but their opponents were Lithuania and Malta - far from the class of the Netherlands. Still, on their own turf, they should create some other dangerous situation even against the Dutch. This detail, combined with the fact that the Netherlands have not kept a clean sheet in their last four visits, puts emphasis on the possibility of both teams scoring.
Prediction: Victory for the Netherlands and both teams to scoreThe historical dominance, current form, and offensive power are on the side of the Netherlands, but Finland show that they can be dangerous even in matches they lose. I expect a victory for the guests, but also goals in both nets.
