These teams last met in 2018 in a friendly match, when Finland won 2:0. Looking further back, these teams have met a total of five times, with Finland winning twice (plus once after penalties), while the remaining games ended in draws.
When it comes to the number of goals, four out of five h2h games finished with fewer than three goals, while both teams scored in three of those.
Finland team overview
Finland came to this UEFA Nations League campaign after a mediocre World Cup qualifiers campaign when they finished 3rd in a group with the Netherlands, Poland, Malta and Lithuania. While that campaign was fine, the previous UEFA Nations League campaign was atrocious, considering they got relegated from League B with a terrible zero points from six games. However, we believe that League B is simply too much for them and that League C is much more suited.
After a 7:0 win over San Marino, coach Jacob Friis spoke to the media. He said he was obviously satisfied considering the big win they secured. The coach credited the players, saying the result showed that all 27 players from the squad are capable of contributing.

Belarus team overview
Belarus are #96 in the FIFA World Ranking List and have never reached a major tournament. In the previous World Cup Qualifiers, they were atrocious, winning only two points in the group with Scotland, Denmark and Greece. However, to be fair, it was a challenging group. When it comes to the UEFA Nations League, Belarus have spent the last three campaigns in League C.
Looking at the teams in their group, and after losing the first game to Albania, they are under pressure to win points against Finland. If they lose, it will be pretty difficult for them to finish in the top two spots, even though the competition has only begun.
After a 2:0 loss to Albania, coach Viktor Gancharenko spoke to the media. He said they started the game poorly because of small details. The coach said they rushed their passes and struggled to keep the ball, which eventually slipped the game out of their hands.

Prediction
Finland opened the UEFA Nations League with a massive 7:0 win over San Marino. Yes, that is only San Marino, but they were projected to win by only a three-goal margin, and we can safely say they outperformed expectations. Also, in recent games, they had some good performances, like a draw with Cape Verde and a win over New Zealand. Also, at home, Finland were excellent, winning three of the past four games, with the most impressive win being against Poland in the World Cup Qualifiers (1:0).
Meanwhile, Belarus did very well in the previous few months, gathering some really good results against solid teams. However, most of those games were friendlies. Then, in the UEFA Nations League, they pretty much got dominated by Albania, losing 2:0 fairly easily.
Moreover, Finland won the previous H2H game 2:0. Considering all the above, we believe Finland are closer to winning the upcoming UEFA Nations League tie.
4 Reasons why Finland should win
- Finland just won 7:0 against San Marino
- Finland won three out of the past four home games
- Belarus lost the last game 2:0 to Albania
- Finland won the previous H2H game 2:0
