Finland VS Russia - Betting Preview

ERIKSEN SCARE TAKES GLOSS OF FINLAND HISTORIC WIN AS RUSSIA SUFFER A RECORD HOME LOSS AT EUROS

Finland marked their arrival at a first international tournament with a famous 1-0 win over Denmark in Copenhagen, albeit in circumstances nobody could ever have imagined. The good news is that Christian Eriksen looks to be okay and is recovering in hospital after collapsing on the pitch. Finland capitalised after the restart and stole the win thanks to Joel Pohjanpalo’s header, which was before Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg saw his penalty saved. On the other hand, even without De Bruyne, Belgium brushed aside Russia 3-0 at the Gazprom Arena in St Petersburg. Russia were lacklustre and seemed a shadow of the team that impressed on home turf in the World Cup three years ago. It’s a must win situation now for ’Сборная’ against the Finns.

FINLAND CLAIM FIRST EVER MAJOR TOURNAMENT WIN 

Finland made their first appearance in a major tournament, but what should have been a memorable moment for the nation became one that, for the worst possible reasons, no football fan will likely forget. The game looked like it would be rearranged to a later date after Eriksen’s collapse but the play resumed less than two hours later after players and coaches, having been consulted in the dressing rooms, agreed to carry on. 

The atmosphere was largely subdued after the incident, with little separating the two sides. Out of nowhere, and with their first shot on target, Finland took the lead when Joel Pohjanpalo headed in from Jere Urenon’s left-wing cross for their first ever goal, and win, at a European Championship. Finland might have been unfancied going into this tournament but those three points will be vital and they could surprise a few people in Group B.

A look at Finland’s betting odds: Norwich striker has scored 20 goals in 25 international starts since 2018 and our bet is to back Teemu Pukki to score here, as well.

SLOPPY RUSSIA WELL-BEATEN BY CLINICAL BELGIANS

The Russians reached the quarter-finals in the World Cup they hosted in 2018 but the energy of those performances was missing, despite playing at home in front of more than 26,000 fans. Russia applied some pressure after the interval but the Beligans coped without too much panic and the game already felt decided before Lukaku wrapped up the win with a well-taken effort after racing on to a through ball from Meunier.

Cherchesov conceded his team had struggled after falling behind to Lukaku’s opener. The Russians failed to find either the tempo to their attacks or a way to provide quality service to striker Artem Dzyuba who was too often left isolated. Russia began the game as underdogs and will at least take cold comfort from the fact that four of the best third-placed teams from the six groups still progress to the knockout stages. However, they will need to quickly get their campaign on track against Finland.

A look at Russia’s betting odds: Since the dissolution of the USSR, Russia have won all four of their games against Finland, scoring at least three goals in each of those matches (15 goals for, 1 against). Our second tip of the day is: Russia to win

Finland VS Russia BETTING TIPS

Russia have not lost to Finland in more than a century, and have scored 15 goals in winning the last four games between the sides. However, coming into this game, Russia don’t seem look like such formifdable obstacle anymore. A win here will surely secure at least the second place in Group B for the Huuhkajat (The Eagle-Owls), while Russia have three days to recharge their batteries and go again. There is no margin for error now for the next two games – against Finland, victors on Saturday, and Denmark.

Final BettingKick’s Finland vs Russia prediction is: Under 2.5 goals.
