England vs Finland Previews
England Team Preview
England head into this fixture brimming with confidence after a solid 2-0 win over the Republic of Ireland in Lee Carsley’s debut match. Declan Rice and Jack Grealish were on target in a comfortable victory for the Three Lions, who will aim to continue their strong start to the UEFA Nations League.
Carsley’s men will be eager to replicate their attacking fluidity from the Ireland clash, with Harry Kane poised to lead the line as he marks his 100th appearance for his country. England have been defensively solid, and at home, they should dominate possession and control the tempo against Finland.
Finland Team Preview
Finland, on the other hand, are coming off a heavy 3-0 defeat to Greece. The visitors struggled defensively, with a key mistake from Lukas Hradecky setting the tone for a poor outing. Markku Kanerva’s side will look to regroup but will be up against it at Wembley, having never beaten England in their history.
Without key players like Kaan Kairinen due to injury, Finland’s hopes will rest on their defensive organization and counter-attacking opportunities through the likes of Teemu Pukki and Joel Pohjanpalo.
