The Netherlands hosts Finland in a game that means a lot for both sides. While the home team tops the standings with three points more than Poland and the upcoming rivals, Finland has to win this one and stay in the race for the playoffs. The Scandinavians have one game more played, which puts the pressure on them here.
Netherlands News
Oranje was better than Malta on the road, 0-4, though that easy win was expected. They are currently holding the first place in Group C with 4 wins, one tie, and a goal difference of 18-3.
Since losing in the UEFA Nations League back in March this year, the team has gone on an unbeaten streak. The one match in which Oranje didn’t win was a 1-1 tie at home against Poland, which is why they have to win tonight to complicate the situation before visiting the Poles.
Finland News
Fins are barely hanging on to the possibility of reaching the playoffs. In order to do that, they would need to stay unbeaten here and do the same in Poland. A 2-2 tie against Lithuania on the road really hurt them and put them in a tough situation.
This team plays somewhat open and efficient football. Five of the past 7 matches have had at least three goals, and the same number of events saw both teams netting.
Netherlands vs. Finland Head to Head
The Netherlands has won the past 5 games against Finland, scoring at least two goals in each. The most recent was in June this year, 0-2 in Helsinki. Depay in the 6th and Dumfries in the 23rd minute solved everything.
Netherlands vs. Finland Betting Predictions
Oranje is an absolute favorite, and given their form and quality, they should beat Finland halftime/fultime and cover a 1.5-goal spread. This is a bet builder yet a very profitable one.
