After their Nations League failures, the Netherlands switch to the World Cup qualifiers, where they are scheduled to meet Finland in Group G. Hosts Finland start this round with four points from two outings. We have a prediction for this match below.

Finland would be joint top heading into this game but let a 2-0 lead slip through their fingers last time out. They had gotten a hold of Lithuania, leading 2-0 after just 17 minutes, but lost focus and dropped two points in the end.

The Finns are coming here on just one win in 10 matches, and that was against a weak Malta side. They suffered seven defeats in those 10 games.

While Finland will be playing their third game in this group, the Netherlands are just getting started. While second place could still see them advance to the World Cup, manager Ronald Koeman has impressed on his players that they have to top the group.

It hasn’t been really straightforward for them in recent matches. The Dutch are winless in the last three matches, though all ended in draws at 90 minutes.

In their last seven matches, the Netherlands managed just one win. If they need a lift here, it is their scoring form that will bear the difference. The Dutch scored two or more in six of seven meetings with Finland.
