Finland continue the search for their first win and points in Nations League Group F on Sunday evening when they welcome England to the Finnish capital Helsinki.
It’s been almost eleven months since Finland lasted tasted victory in a competitive encounter. Markku Kanerva’s side are winless in their last five outings across all competitions and suffered four defeats in that spell. Three of those defeats came in the Nations League where they currently sit at the bottom of Group F and are yet to register a point.
England meanwhile were well and truly in control of this group until earlier this week when they suffered a shock defeat to Greece at Wembley. The Three Lions dropped to second in the group as a result of that defeat and currently sit three points behind leaders Greece. Interim boss Lee Carsley will be looking for a response on Sunday night and there isn't any other better fixture than facing Finland whom the Three Lions beat 10-0 the last time the two nations made.
Finland vs England Betting Tips: England to win & over 2.5 goals
One of Finland's biggest problems in recent months has been their defence. The Eagle-owls go into Sunday's game on a run of eight consecutive games without keeping a clean sheet and shipped two or more goals in each of their last five outings.
The last two meetings between Finland and England were also very entertaining. The Tree Lions won both games 15-3 on aggregate and I fancy Sunday’s game in Helsinki to be entertaining.

Finland team news
Finland boss Markku Kanerva is expected to make changes to the side that was on the pitch from kickoff in the defeat to the Republic of Ireland last time out.
Teemu Pukki started that game on the bench but the former Norwich forward is unlikely to replace Joel Pohjanpalo who scored his 16th international goal against Ireland.

England team news
Harry Kane missed the defeat to Greece with a minor injury and the Bayern Munich forward is a doubt for this weekend’s trip to Finland.
Should the Three Lions’ all-time top scorer miss out, Aston Villa forward Ollie Watkins could lead the line alongside Bukayo Saka and Anthony Gordon, while Cole Palmer will have to fight with Bellingham for the number 10 role.
