Finland have made a superb start to their Nations League C campaign in Group 2, winning all four of their games in the competition so far. However, the Nordic team face a challenge to continue that record as they face a trip to Greece on Thursday night.
Greece’s recent form has been the definition of inconsistent, as the home side has won three and lost four of their last seven international games. Last time out, they suffered a 2-0 defeat in the reverse fixture.
The defeat in Finland means that Greece have won two and lost two of their opening four games in the Nations League. The two wins have left the home side in second place in the group.
Like their recent form in general, Greece’s home form has been inconsistent. However, a record of just two wins from their last eight outings is not the best.
Greece’s latest games on home soil have been low scoring, with seven of their last nine matches producing under 2.5 goals. The fact that they have kept four clean sheets in their last six games at home has heavily contributed to the low scoring matches.
Finland have been somewhat of a surprise package in the Nations League. The visitors have been in outstanding form of late, winning their last five internationals, while suffering just one defeat in 14 matches.
At the heart of the visitor’s recent good form is their defensive record, as they have kept clean sheets in seven of their last eight games. Finland have also suffered just one defeat in their last six away games, even though they have endured mixed fortunes on their travels.
Despite Finland’s recent good run of form, Forebet predicts that Greece will record a victory in a low scoring encounter.
