On June 16, in the next meeting of the European Football Championship, the players of the national teams of Finland and Russia will come face to face. On whose side will the victory be in this confrontation?
Finland
The Finnish national team started with a victory over Denmark. It would seem like a sensation, but everyone understands that the result of the game was influenced by the situation that happened with Christian Eriksen. Before the terrible incident, "Suomi" with great difficulty managed to restrain the attacking impulses of the opponent, but after a pause, they were able to take advantage of the only moment. During the entire game with the Danes, the players of the Finnish national team made only one offensive, which ended with a goal. As for Denmark, it had more than 20 shots, including an attempt to score from the penalty spot, but the goalkeeper of the Scandinavians showed his best, managing to keep the frame intact.
Russia
As for the Russian team, before the start of the tournament, everyone could only assume what the "red machine" is capable of. But now, as it seems, the situation is very clear, and we should not expect anything good from the upcoming match. The first meeting at Euro 2020 started with a defeat for the Russians from Belgium (0: 3). Terrible defensive play and goalkeeping mistakes left a bad impression on the Russian team. It seems that only Turkey played worse in the first round of the tournament, which lost to Italy with the same crushing score – 0: 3.
Statistics and figures:
- Russia is the favorite of the meeting;
- The Finns won only 1 victory in 5 previous meetings;
- Russia won twice in 5 games;
- The last face-to-face meeting between the rivals ended with a score of 3: 0 in favor of Russia;
- The Russians won 4 matches out of 5 against the Finns.
Forecast
We'll bet on Russia this time. We'll put it on. In the first game against Belgium, we saw a disassembled game of Stanislav Cherchesov's team, but in the second match of the Russian squad, everything will be fine. We bet on the victory of our team.
