Finland vs Slovenia – Prediction, and Match Preview
Finland vs Slovenia – One of the pivotal Group H matches in the two sides’ 2024 EURO qualifying campaigns has Finland hosting Slovenia.
Three days after losing to group favorites and local rivals Denmark in the first round, the Scandinavian team defeated Northern Ireland 0-1 in Belfast. Both games were played in March.
Finland won the match thanks to a goal from Benjamin Kallman in the first half. The other teams were each only able to muster two shots on goal over the full 90 minutes of play.
Thus, Markku Kanerva’s team broke a run of three straight losses, and they will go into this crucial match against Slovenia in a good mood.
The absence of Robin Lod, a crucial Minnesota United midfielder who underwent surgery, will be a major issue for Kanerva. Slovenia defeated Kazakhstan and San Marino in its first two qualifiers.
With games against Finland and Denmark coming up on Friday and Monday, respectively, they are now anticipating much tougher tests.
Boss Matjaz Kek can be happy with his team’s defensive improvements in recent games, as Slovenia has only allowed two goals in their last four victories.
The fact that the away team won’t have their finest player, goalkeeper Jan Oblak, who has been out for Atleti for the previous few months, is a very important point to make.
Finland vs Slovenia – Betting Analysis
In their past three head-to-head encounters, the teams have each recorded a victory, a draw, and a defeat.
However, this will be their first time competing against one other.
When they last faced off, in a non-FIFA exhibition game in January 2017, Slovenia prevailed 2-0. In none of the three head-to-head meetings between these teams, three or more goals were scored.
The Under 1.5 goals FT with the odds of 2.62 has to be a logical betting option when you consider the significance of the game and the playing styles of the two sides.
What are the best odds for this match?
Looking at what the bookmakers’ view is of this game in the full-time result market, putting your money on Finland is best priced at 2.44, betting on a drawn result is 3.17 and staking on a win for Slovenia comes in at 3.2. Those are the best market prices that can be secured at the current time.
