Scotland vs Finland Odds

Scotland Team News

Scotland participated in the previous European Championship but ended their campaign much earlier than expected after securing only one point in three group stage matches.

With Germany, the tournament host, and strong teams like Switzerland and Hungary in their group, Scotland now hopes for a much stronger performance to increase their chances of advancing to the knockout stage.

Following a recent 2-0 victory against the low-ranked Gibraltar in their first warm-up match for EURO 2024, Scotland faces a much tougher opponent, Finland, on Friday.

Coach Steve Clarke expressed concern as it took his team nearly an hour to break through the defense of the world’s 203rd-ranked team, a worrying sign given their seven-match winless streak before this game (two draws and five losses).

However, their unbeaten record against Finland in eight previous encounters, with six wins and two draws, and clean sheets in the last three victories, should offer some optimism ahead of the upcoming clash in Glasgow.

Finland Team News

Finland’s coach, Markku Kanerva, will not participate in the European Championship in Germany, as EURO 2020 remains the national team’s only appearance in major tournaments. They came close to qualifying for this year’s EURO but were defeated in the playoffs by Wales in Cardiff with a convincing 4-1 scoreline.

Therefore, this friendly match serves as preparation for the start of the UEFA Nations League, which begins in September. Despite a 4-2 loss to Portugal in Lisbon on Tuesday, they can be satisfied with the final result as they managed to score twice from just two shots on goal. Throughout the match, it was evident that the home team was much stronger.

It should be noted that Finland has won three of their last six matches, with three losses, including a triumph over Scotland’s neighbors, Northern Ireland. These six matches are part of a 15-game run without a draw (seven wins and eight losses), suggesting that they will likely adopt an all-or-nothing approach again on Friday evening.

Scotland vs Finland H2H

In the eight previous encounters between these two teams, Scotland has celebrated six victories, while two matches ended in a draw.

Injuries and suspensions

Scotland: Scotland is dealing with injury problems. They have already lost Nathan Patterson and Aaron Hickey, and a few days ago, Lyndon Dykes also got injured. Scott McTominay, Stuart Armstrong and Grant Hanley are injured, but all three might be ready for the match against Finland.

Finland: The visitors have no injury problems.

Scotland vs Finland Prediction

Scotland is a significant favorite in this match. However, they also have injury concerns among their players. Adding to that, Finland managed to score two goals against Portugal in Lisbon on Tuesday. Therefore, we expect them to at least find the net once in Glasgow. With that in mind, the option of seeing goals from both sides on Friday evening seems like a good choice for their upcoming clash.
