Finland vs Netherlands Preview

Netherlands will be eager to begin their World Cup Qualification campaign as they face Finland on Saturday night.

Form

Finland have endured a poor run of form heading into this fixture with six defeats in their last eight games in all competitions and have won just one of their last ten matches.

They have been poor defensively with just one clean sheet kept in ten games and have conceded two or more goals in six of their last eight games.

Their last World Cup qualification action was a 2-2 draw away to Lithuania as the Finnish side allowed a two goal led slip.

Six of their last ten games across all competitions have seen Over 2.5 goals.

Netherlands have been unpredictable entering into this fixture with just two wins in eight games.

They have been porous defensively with both teams to score featuring in eight of their last ten games across all competitions as Ronald Koeman's side have kept just one clean sheet within that time.

The Dutch side have fared better in attack though having scored two or more goals in five of their last eight games while Over 2.5 goals in seven of their last ten games across all competitions.

Verdict

Finland v Netherlands

Finland are on a poor run of form while Netherlands are clearly the bookies favorite and well placed to begin their campaign with a win. I'll be backing Netherlands win and Over 2.5 goals.
