On Sunday, we head to the Johan Cruijff Arena, where the Netherlands will host Finland in their latest 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier. Oranje lead Group G with 13 points, while the Eagle-owls are in third place with 10 points. Let’s get into the match prediction!
The Netherlands will be looking to maintain their unbeaten record in this competition this week. So far, they’ve won four and drawn one of their five matches, while scoring a whopping 18 goals.
The Flying Dutchman smashed four goals past Malta without response on Thursday night. Memphis Depay was on the score sheet once again and now has six goals in this competition.
The hosts are also unbeaten in their last 10 home games across all competitions (W7 D3) and scored two or more goals in eight of those matches.
Meanwhile, Finland have never qualified for a World Cup, but they are firmly in the race this year, currently level on points with second-placed Poland, though they have played a game more.
The Eagle-owls overturned a 1-0 deficit to beat Lithuania 2-1 on Thursday. With that result, Jacob Friis' side has now kept only one clean sheet in their last 18 matches.
The visitors have also only won one of their last 10 away games (D2 L7) and have lost each of their last five against their upcoming opponent.

Our Netherlands vs Finland Prediction
The Netherlands have been the benchmark in Group G so far, and they enter this match following a commanding 4-0 victory over Malta, in which they were able to rest a handful of their best players.
Finland were far from convincing despite getting the result against Lithuania on Thursday night, and given their away record, we feel they will be no match for the Flying Dutchman at their fortress this weekend. Our Netherlands vs Finland prediction is Netherlands wins & BTTS (NO).
