Finland Preview – Can Finland pick up where they left off?
Finland enjoyed a successful campaign in the inaugural Nations League competition last time out as the hosts finished top of Group 2 in League C at the end of the tournament and accordingly were promoted up to League B where they’ll be up against Wales on Thursday night.
The Fins finished top of a group that included Hungary, Greece and Estonia and they won four of their six group matches to secure the automatic promotion spot thanks to wins against Hungary, Estonia and Greece at home along with an away win at Estonia.
Thursday’s hosts continued this momentum into the European qualifiers as they finished runners-up to Group J winners, Italy, edging out the likes of Greece and Bosnia & Herzegovina for an automatic spot in the Euro finals, and have suffered just two defeats from their last 15 matches at home in all competitions, but a lot has changed since they last played Wales back in 2013.
Wales Preview – Can Wales extend unbeaten run?
Thursday’s visitors, Wales, bring a solid and impressive six-match unbeaten run into this clash with Finland as they too finished runners-up in their respective Euro qualifying Group E behind winners, Croatia.
Wales’s achievement is perhaps even more impressive as they were in arguably a stronger group that contained the likes of Slovakia, Hungary and Azerbaijan, and were unbeaten in their last five matches in the qualifiers that included home and away wins against Azerbaijan along with a home win over Hungary.
In addition, Wales have lost just three of their last 10 matches on their travels at this level which should give the visitors the necessary confidence and belief in picking up a result in Finland on Thursday.
