Finland take on the visitors Bosnia & Herzegovina in the round 2 match of League B in UEFA Nations League. The match will be played on Saturday, June 4th at Helsinki Olympic Stadium (Helsinki).
Finland intends to show that they has not completely passed their peak. "Suomi" were considered one of the flagships, but within the framework of hockey. When they switch from ice to grass and from puck to ball, it turned out much worse, at most the Scandinavians were considered a tough nut to crack, which is capable of surprises. This began to change under Markku Kanerva. First, there were good games in the qualification for the last World Cup, then - a sensation in the form of winning a direct ticket to the Euro. Last summer, they even managed to win in the 1st round against the Danes shocked by the loss of Eriksen. But after that, the team lost to both Russia and Belgium. However, in the autumn the team continued to fight for the 2nd place in the group. And in the end, Pukki and company were only 1 point behind Ukraine.

Bosnia once again disappointed in the last cycle. "Golden Lilies" are just disappointing. They have enough first-class stars - blocks of Edin Dzeko and Miralem Pjanic stand apart, but there are also Kolasinac and Krunic, with reservations - Ahmedhodzic, Besic, Prevljak, Cimirot. But all that such a generation did was to flicker once at the World Championships, and then without leaving the group. Last year, there seemed to be chances to compete for 2nd place, but in the end the team finished below not only Ukraine, but also Finland. 7 points was the worst result in history. However, the mentor, Ivaylo Petev, was able to keep the position. But now, of course, they will demand results from him, and 1 more misfire can be decisive. It is not surprising that he called everyone, even Pjanic, whom he suspended in the fall for revelry before the fight with the Ukrainians.
Teams in recent years intersected with an enviable frequency. In 2019, as part of the selection for the Euro, they exchanged home victories. After 2 years, the Finns were better: a draw at home, a victory on the road. Of course, the Bosnians will try to take revenge, but not the fact that it will work out. The Finns are pragmatic, and the bet on "total under 2.5 goals" suggests itself.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
