Finland go up against Slovenia on Friday in a game played out at Olympiastadion. We are entering the third round of the group stage in the European Championship with both very eager to add points to their tally. Finland took a hit when Slovenia handed them a 2-0 defeat in their latest encounter. The former did win the reverse match though, as they secured three points to their name by claiming a 2-0 win.

After the first two matches of the group stage, Finland are number four on three points, while Slovenia have six points as number one. Finland are number 56, while Slovenia are number 59 in the FIFA world ranking.

Winning their group is probably too much to expect, however it would not be too much of a stretch to see Finland fail in qualifying in second.

Whilst outsiders to top their group Slovenia still seem to have a decent opportunity to at least qualify for the knock-out stage. Though a tough group, we certainly shouldn't count them out.

Finland vs Slovenia Prediction

Finland Form

Finland suffered a couple of disappointments in their last three matches, as they were run over by Estonia in a 0-1 defeat. Denmark also proved too hard to handle, as they won 3-1, before Finland were able to strike back last time out in a 0-1 win against Northern Ireland. Finland just have a single win to show from their efforts in the past six internationals. They also drew three and lost two of these six encounters, in which they scored five and conceded six goals.

Slovenia Form

In their last three matches, Slovenia first beat Montenegro 1-0, then Kazakhstan by 1-2 and finally San Marino by 2-0. Slovenia won five of their last six internationals, as well as drawing one in which they scored six and let seven goals in.

Finland look a little out of sorts and confidence could be vital to which way this encounter turns out. With the home side short on confidence, Slovenia is the value bet.

Slovenia will be looking to extend their remarkable streak of four wins on the bounce when they take to the field for their next game.
