Nations League Prediction
In Group 2 of the Nations League B, a glaring difference stands out between the four teams. Greece and Germany have six points on the clock, while the Finland – Ireland duo are the worst performers in the class with no points in two days. This should change this Friday evening since the latter finds himself in Helsinki for the third meeting of a competition that the players would like to no longer have to play. You guessed it but the Finnish dynamic is quite catastrophic since the number of successes during the last five outings of the group led by Markku Kanerva can be counted on one little finger. This dates back to March 26, 2024 and since then, the Owls have had three losses and a draw, including two defeats in a row with a cumulative score of 5-0. If the blues and whites are not able to bounce back against an opponent of their level, relegation could be the disaster scenario in the weeks to come.
Fortunately for the locals, the Irish also had a series of difficult performances with three poor results in a row, all without scoring a single goal in 270 minutes! It’s simple, the state of form of the Boys in Green is borderline “worse” than that of Finland. In order to hope for a continuation at the end of the season, the men led by Heimir Hallgrimsson will have to put in an XXL performance away from home, like against Hungary last June where they won by the score. by 2-1. Without this parameter, the greens and whites risk leaving one of the Nordic countries empty-handed.
