1.00Finland to win
We’re back with the final international break of 2023 as we continue down the road to UEFA Euro 2024. It’s safe to say that things are really starting to heat up in pretty much every group as nations qualify and make their push to reach the playoffs. Today, we’ll be taking a look at what should be a
n intriguing battle between San Marino and Finland.
San Marino Form Guide
San Marino are often looked upon as the ‘second team’ for a lot of international football fans - largely because they aren’t very big, and they aren’t very good. They are taken to the cleaners pretty frequently and yet, despite that, they still maintain a strong spirit. They’re unlikely to qualify in the near future, but who knows, perhaps a surprise could be on the horizon.
LAST SIX: 0-6 loss vs Finland, 0-4 loss vs Denmark, 0-4 loss vs Slovenia, 0-3 loss vs Northern Ireland, 1-2 loss vs Denmark, 1-3 loss vs Kazakhstan.
Finland Form Guide
Back at Euro 2021, Finland finally made an appearance in the competition they’d never appeared in before. They got a win on the board, showcased some of their nation’s strengths on the pitch, and generally had a really nice flow to their game. Now, though, they need to try and prove it wasn’t a one-off, and they need to really make the most of their impact players.
LAST SIX: 6-0 win vs San Marino, 1-0 win vs Kazakhstan, 0-1 loss vs Denmark, 0-3 loss vs Slovenia, 1-2 loss vs Kazakhstan, 4-0 win vs Northern Ireland.
Match Prediction
San Marino are entertaining to watch, if only because it’s great to try and figure out when they’re next going to score a goal. Alas, while we do appreciate there’s a certain element of fun in the mix, we don’t think they’re good enough to get a good result with our prediction being a Finland win.
