vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Belarus and Finland have not yet played in their Nations League group, so the picture rests on recent friendlies and qualifiers and the only available head-to-head meeting. Belarus are unbeaten in their last six outings: three wins and three draws. Their last match ended in a 2-2 draw against Burkina Faso, preceded by two wins, 4-1 over Syria and 2-1 away to Armenia; further back come another win, 1-0 away to Cyprus, and two draws, 0-0 against Greece and 2-2 away to Denmark, the last of these the earliest of the six. Finland have the opposite record, two wins, one draw and three defeats in their last six: their last match was a 1-2 loss away to Hungary, preceded by another heavy defeat, 0-4 away to Germany, and a 1-1 draw away to Cape Verde Islands; further back come two wins, 2-0 away to New Zealand and 4-0 over Andorra, and, in the earliest of the six, a 0-1 defeat to Malta. The only head-to-head meeting between the two sides came in June 2018, played at Finland's home (the opposite ground from this match), and finished 2-0 to the hosts. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
