Finland v England Nations League Football Betting Tips 13/10/2024

Finland host England on matchday three of the 2024/25 UEFA Nations League on Sunday, so here’s our Finland v England Nations League Football Betting Tips. The Nordic nation hasn’t made the best start to the campaign and sits bottom of Group B2 without a point. Following relegation from the A groups, England has generally fared well in the Nations League second tier. However, Lee Carsley’s men will be eager to bounce back from a setback against Greece. Can the Three Lions get back to winning ways in Helsinki? This game kicks off at 5 p.m. on Sunday and you can watch it on ITV.

Form and Team News

Finland has lost all three Nations League games so far and scored just one goal in Group B2. These results come as part of a wider five-match winless run, with just one draw in that period. The Eagle-Owls began their Nations League stint with back-to-back losses to Greece (3-0) and England (2-0). Another defeat came at home against Ireland on Thursday, giving up a 1-0 lead and losing 2-1. England are second in the group after winning their opening two clashes. Carsley’s side defeated Ireland and Finland 2-0. However, England suffered their first defeat since the Euros final last time out with a 2-1 home defeat to Greece.

Finland come into this clash with a clean bill of health and no suspensions. England attackers Harry Kane and Jack Grealish weren’t fit enough to feature against Greece. The duo could be recalled here.

Match Winner Bet

Currently, Finland is the pre-match underdogs by quite some distance in this upcoming encounter with England. Markku Kanerva’s outfit has lost four of their previous five, and their long-term form in the Nations League is particularly poor. The Nordic side has failed to win in six of their last seven in the competition and lost five. With three straight losses in the 2024/25 Nations League, Finland has struggled with the quality in the B division. The odds reflect this, as Betfred have 10/1 odds for a home win against England. Yet the Eagle-Owls have a fair recent home record against the Three Lions, which will provide hope. Finland has held England to draws in two of the previous three encounters at home, including a 0-0 stalemate when they last met on Finnish turf. At 9/2, provided by 888Sport, a draw could be a solid alternative to a home win. After a humbling loss to Greece, we fully anticipate England to respond in this clash. England are in solid away form, unbeaten in five and winning four. This run includes a comfortable 2-0 win in Ireland in the September internationals, and we feel the Three Lions can make it wins from two on the road against Finland. Ladbrokes have the best potential returns for an away victory at 1/3.

Over/Under Goals Betting

As the underdogs here, Finland will try to make life hard for a talented England side on Sunday. This could lead to a low-scoring result in the Nations League. In addition, Finland hasn’t seen many high-scoring results at home in the Nations League. Just one of their 10 home games in the competition has ended with over 2.5 goals. This fixture also isn’t renowned for goals historically, with two of the last three ending with under 2.5 goals, while England edged the previous meeting 2-0 in September. Sticking with a low-scoring clash seems a solid pick for Finland vs England, and Bet365 has 23/20 odds in the under 2.5 goals market.

Anytime Goalscorer Bets

The sole Nations League goalscorer for Finland, Joel Pohjanpalo looks like a decent outsider pick to score at any time against England. Pohjanpalo opened the scoring against Ireland last time out, and he has three in his last four for club and country. The Venezia forward is picking up form, and 6/1 odds for another anytime goal from Bet365 could be worth backing with a small outlay. England’s key man is Jude Bellingham, and we are tipping the Real Madrid midfielder to strike in Finland. Bellingham was the standout player against Greece, scoring England’s equaliser and attempting three shots throughout the contest. The 21-year-old now has four goals in his nine previous internationals and looks a good pick to strike again on Sunday. At 5/2, Betway’s odds for another Bellingham goal is decent value.
