Netherlands vs Finland prediction 12.10.2025 | World Cup 2026 qualifiers

Netherlands return to Amsterdam after a comfortable 4:0 win in Malta on Thursday. Cody Gakpo scored twice in a routine victory for Ronald Koeman´s side.

The Dutch have enjoyed a strong run of form in 2025, and remain unbeaten across nine previous internationals since a Nations League defeat against Germany 12 months ago. Netherlands now sit top of Group G, three points ahead of both Poland and Finland. 

High-scoring outcomes can usually be expected when Koeman's men are in action. Five of their last seven games finished with at least three goals scored. 

Head coach Koeman is unlikely to make too many changes to his first XI this weekend. Memphis Depay could earn a recall after his late arrival to the Dutch camp because of a missing passport. 

Finland make the trip to Amsterdam after a hard-fought 2:1 win against Lithuania in Helsinki on Thursday. Trailing at the interval, second-half goals from Benjamin Källman and Adam Markhiev secured a much-needed victory for Jacob Friis´s side.

Six games into their qualification campaign, the Finns sit third in the section, three points behind Netherlands, while having played one game more than their Dutch hosts. 

Frequently involved in high-scoring outcomes in this section, four of Finland´s five games played in Group G finished with BTTS and over 2.5 goals scored. 

Finnish boss Friis reported no new injury issues after Friday's win against Lithuania. Experienced goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky is a notable absentee from the Finns squad.
