Finland Italy betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Looking at this match between Finland and Italy, it is possible to notice that the Italians are taking advantage of having a great quality squad. On the other hand, Finland should come to the field with a defensive mindset, looking for the goal through counter-attacks by the aisles, but without much success. We recall that the Italians beat the Finns in the last match (2-0). Having said that and given these factors, we believe that betting in favor of Italy in this game is a good option.

Preview
Finland and Italy meet at Ratinan Stadion, in a match for this stage of the EC Qualification (Qualifying Round). In 2 head‑to‑heads in the last 3 years, the away team won 2. Finland registers significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth special attention.

Analysis Finland

After 4 wins and 1 loss, the home team is currently in the 2nd position, with 12 points won. In the last match, they have won (1‑0) at home against Greece, after in the previous round they have won (0‑2) in an away match against Liechtenstein. This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 2 draws and 8 losses in away matches; against 9 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses at their stadium. In the last 10 home matches Finland has won 8 and tied 2.

They have won the last 4 matches for this competition. Defensive consistency has been one of their best features, as they have only conceded goals in 1 of the last 5 matches, and their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 4 of the last 5 matches for this competition. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 4 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Finland come to this game motivated after conquering another triumph in this qualifying round, the fourth in a row by beating Greece (1-0): Pukki scored the only goal of the team, through a penalty. In this game against Italy, a very complicated opponent at all levels, manager Markku Kanerva should play with a defensive strategy, seeking only the counterattack in order to explore the enemy's back. Striker Pukki is the star of this team, being the Finland's top scorer, with 4 goals scored. The entire squad is available for this game.

Confirmed Lineup: Lukáš Hrádecký, Albin Granlund, Jere Uronen, Paulus Arajuuri, Joona Toivio, Sauli Väisänen, Robin Lod, Lassi Lappalainen, Glen Kamara, Rasmus Schüller, Teemu Pukki.
Coach: M. Kanerva.

Analysis Italy

The away team is currently in the 1st position, with 15 points won, after 5 wins. In the penultimate round, they have won a home match agaisnt Bosnia‑Herzegovina by (2‑1). In the last round, they have won an away match against Armenia by (1‑3). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 23 goals scored and 17 conceded; against 9 wins and 6 draws at their stadium, with 34 goals scored and 6 conceded. In the last 9 away matches Italy has won 4, tied 1 and lost 4.

In this competition, they have a sequence of 5 wins in the last matches. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 5 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 4 of the last 9 matches have ended with Under 1,5 goals and 6 out of 9 have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 6 times but have turned the score around in 2.

Italy arrive for this match with a 1-3 away win over Armenia, registering their fifth consecutive triumph in this competition: the team's goals were signed by Belotti (2) and Pellegrini. In this match against the second placed of the group, coach Mancini should keep the team in 4-3-3, favoring a playing style of ball possession and the search of spaces in the aisles. Andrea Belotti should make up the attacking front of the Italian side, being one of the best scorers, with 2 goals scored. For this game the manager can count on the same players as the last match.

Confirmed Lineup: Gianluigi Donnarumma, Emerson, Armando Izzo, Francesco Acerbi, Leonardo Bonucci, Stefano Sensi, Nicolò Barella, Jorginho, Lorenzo Pellegrini, Federico Chiesa, Ciro Immobile.
