Northern Ireland vs Finland Predictions

Tip Reasoning

• Northern Ireland have scored exactly two goals in four of their last five
• Finland have conceded at least once in eight of their last ten games
• Finland have failed to win in eight of their last ten

Northern Ireland look to keep their good start going

Northern Ireland will look to continue their winning start to their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign as they face a visit from a Finland side who have failed to win in eight of their last ten games. Northern Ireland themselves have only won three of their last ten, but will take confidence from two of these wins coming in their last three games.

With Finland having conceded at least once in eight of their last ten, and Northern Ireland having scored in each of their last five, they will be confident of finding the back of the net on Sunday, and with Finland having failed to score in two of their last three, the Green and White Army will be confident of winning this one. A best bet prediction of Northern Ireland to win looks good here.

Closely matched sides

Finland are ranked 56th in the FIFA world rankings, while Northern Ireland are slightly below them in 59th. If FIFA are to be believed, this should be a tight game, and everything points towards this being the case.

Finland have not lost by more than two goals since a 5-1 defeat by Poland in October 2020. In more recent times, they have conceded at least once in eight of their last ten games. Northern Ireland, meanwhile, have scored exactly two goals in four of their last five, and have just one clean sheet in that time. A correct score prediction of 2-1 Northern Ireland appeals here.
