Liechtenstein vs Finland Predictions

Can Finland continue their bid for a Euro 2020 place when they make this trip to Liechtenstein on Tuesday? The visitors changed the look of their qualifying group at the weekend thanks to a 2-0 victory over Bosnia. However, will they secure three points in this trip? The visitors are heavy favourites to continue their good form early in this campaign, but the Finns have to hold their nerve to make sure that they come through this doubleheader with six points in the bag.

A 3-0 loss to Armenia on Saturday means that the hosts remain without a point or even a goal in this campaign. They head into this clash having shipped far too many goals so far, with Italy dishing out a hammering to Liechtenstein when the pair met in March. It’s hard to see the hosts producing any major results of note in this group, given that they finished up the World Cup qualifying campaign without a point. They also ended up bottom of their Nations League group, struggling against the likes of Armenia and Gibraltar.

It’s hard to predict any major issues for Finland following the hosts’ recent form. The Finns head into this one following a strong Nations League campaign which saw them top the group. They’re set to face the playoffs for Euro 2020 next year unless they can find a way to qualify automatically from this group. The Finns moved into the top two after their win over Bosnia, but can they kick on following that success?

Finland have beaten Armenia and Bosnia so far, which suggests that they can mount a challenge. They do have a solid record at the back of late, winning both those clashes to nil. The Finns also won their Nations League group after four straight wins to nil, which points to another good defensive display from the visitors when they meet one of European football’s minnows.

Finland won their Nations League group with a series of low scoring wins, while they have kicked off this group with three matches which have all seen just two goals each. Liechtenstein have seen low-scoring defeats in four of their last six games here, so we can’t see this being a classic. We’re backing Finland to win the game with under 3.5 goals to be scored, while we’re tipping another 2-0 victory for the visitors.
