Finland vs Romania – Free Betting Tips & Predictions

The bottom two sides in Nations League B Group 3 face off in Helsinki on Friday evening. Read our top predictions for this week’s fixture below.

Finland to Win

Finland have underperformed in the current iteration of the Nations League and they find themselves in third spot in League B Group 3 ahead of Friday’s game, however, the Finns are adept at making home advantage count and that could give them the edge they need to beat Romania in Helsinki. Finland have come unstuck in each of their away matches so far, though they are unbeaten at home where they have claimed four points from six. Keen to avenge their narrow loss against Romania in the summer, Finland should be highly motivated this week and we recommend siding with the hosts in the match result market.

Teemu Pukki to Score Anytime

Teemu Pukki is Finland’s all-time top goalscorer and the 32-year-old rarely lets his country down when they need his match-changing interventions. Pukki has already scored twice during the current Nations League campaign and he has hit an impressive six goals in his last ten appearances for Finland overall. The Finns will look to Pukki’s finishing to fire them to victory again on Friday and the Norwich City striker is available at a generous price to add to his tally against Romania.
