Finland vs England Tips

Tip 1

After keeping two consecutive clean sheets in Carsley’s two September Nations League fixtures, league leaders Greece struck twice at Wembley to cause a significant upset.

A series of changes disrupted England’s rhythm, especially the interim boss’ decision to omit a recognised striker from his starting XI. This disturbance is only expected to continue on Sunday with the defeat no doubt forcing his hand into further changes.

Tip 2

Likeliest to find a goal for Finland is sharpshooter Joel Pohjanpalo, who has two goals in five Serie A appearances for Venezia this season after 23 across all competitions for the newly-promoted club.

His last six goals for his country have come on home soil, including Thursday night’s strike against Ireland.

He was an unused sub in the previous 2-0 defeat to England, but with the emphasis on the visitors to correct their midweek mistakes, there will be opportunities for the striker to take.

Finland Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

Despite taking the lead inside 20 minutes against Ireland, a disastrous second half display saw the hosts throw away all three points, now sitting bottom of League B Group 2.

Finland have no injuries or suspensions ahead of this England clash.

Finland Predicted XI: Sinisalo; Stahl, Hoskonen, Ivanov, Galvez; Walta, Schuller; Lod, Kamara, Keskinen; Pohjanpalo.

England Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

Lee Carsley suffered defeat in his third outing as senior England boss, throwing away the point that Jude Bellingham had seemingly earned the Three Lions through an injury-time winner.

Harry Kane and Jack Grealish remain injury doubts for England’s trip to Finland.

England Predicted XI: Pickford; Alexander-Arnold, Stones, Colwill, Lewis; Gallagher, Rice; Saka, Bellingham, Palmer; Watkins.
