Finland take on the visitors Montenegro in the round 2 match of League B in UEFA Nations League. The match will be played on Tuesday, June 7th at Helsinki Olympic Stadium (Helsinki).
Finland does not want to repeat the recent history of Iceland. "Suomi" in some ways, of course, are similar to Iceland: a representative of the Scandinavian world, who added quite sharply and was able to finally make his debut in a big tournament. Unlike the Icelanders, Kanerva's wards managed to qualify for the first championship in history, Euro 2020. And then they defeated Denmark, shocked by the situation with Eriksen. But so far the Finns have not really given up. In the fall, they argued to the last for 2nd place in the qualifying group, but in the end they lost 1 point to Ukraine. They also played with Bosnia then, and on Saturday they met with Bosnia again. Leading the whole 2nd half in the score after another Pukka goal, in the end the Finns missed the advantage, conceding in the 93rd minute.

Montenegro was able to at least somehow prove itself in the League of Nations. The Brave Falcons have an uncomfortably unique status among all the former republics of federal Yugoslavia. Already even modest North Macedonia made its debut in the "big" tournament, and all the others, including Bosnia, have such experience. But the Montenegrins, despite a number of fairly high-status players in the clip, always finish too low. This team is also not going to the World Cup in Qatar. In last year's qualifying, only 12 points were taken in 10 matches, with half of that collected against deaf underdog Gibraltar. The only outlet, at least some kind of success, was just the League of Nations - in the last draw, they managed to win the group. But there the Montenegrins played at the level of division C. They had to make their debut in a higher league on Saturday, taking on Romania. It turned out successfully: in the last half hour, they scored 2 unanswered goals to the visitors.
Montenegro is a rather young team, whose players have recently played as part of Yugoslavia. So, it is not surprising that this will be the first duel as the "Falcons" with the Finns. Experts tend to favor the Finns. But it is obvious that these not spectacular teams will not score much, we bet on "total less than 2.5 goals"
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
