Finland vs Iceland Prediction & Betting Tips - International Friendlies
by Indran | in Football Predictions
Finland and Iceland meet in this friendly international at the Estadio Enrique Roca in Murcia, Spain. The neutral venue it much more difficult to predict a winner. Finland will be deeply disappointed at having not qualified for the World Cup. They went into their final group match in second place but lost to France while third placed Ukraine leapfrogged them by winning their last match. Finland lost their last two home matches in the qualifying which effectively ruled them out from progressing to the playoffs. In their last six matches they have a record of three wins and three losses with no draws. Finland will again look to their record scorer Teemu Pukki for goals as he has scored three goals in their last four matches. They have only managed two clean sheets in their last eight matches with both these coming against Kazakhstan.
Iceland come into this match on the back of two disastrous friendly matches were they were held 1-1 to lowly Uganda and then were thrashed 5-1 by South Korea. They also had a very poor World Cup qualifying campaign that saw them finish second from bottom in their group. Iceland only managed two wins from their ten matches with off the field issues affecting the team’s performance. They have failed to win in their last five away matches with three draws and two defeats. Iceland’s defence which was once their strength has regressed to the stage that they have conceded nine goals in their last three matches at an average of three goals per match.

Our Finland vs Iceland Prediction
Both teams have two wins apiece from their four previous meetings with Finland winning the most reason match 1-0 in 2017. Iceland have found winning away from home very difficult and much of their problems stem from having a shaky defence. Finland will be confident of penetrating their defence especially with striker Pukki in great form. We are backing Finland to win or draw this match.
