2025 WRC Rally Finland betting picks & best odds

Rally Finland preview

Rally Finland is rallying’s spiritual home — smooth, high‑speed forest roads lined with fans, blind crests that launch cars 40 meters into the air, and margins so fine that one missed apex can end a weekend. Dubbed the “Grand Prix on Gravel,” it’s the fastest stop on the WRC calendar and a bucket‑list win for every driver.

This year’s edition brings even more intrigue. The 2025 route features new stages at Parkkola and Leustu plus a reversed Saarikas test, adding unpredictability to a rally already known for drama. Sunday’s finale sees the legendary Ouninpohja twice — the second run as the Power Stage — guaranteeing a spectacular showdown for bonus points.

The championship fight couldn’t be tighter: Ott Tänak leads Elfyn Evans by a single point after Estonia, with Kalle Rovanperä 24 points back, currently the favourite with the top online sportsbooks, and desperate to deliver his first home win after crashing out of the lead last year. Toyota’s local dominance (six wins in seven years) faces renewed heat from Hyundai, which swept the podium in Estonia to slash the manufacturers’ gap to 52 points.

Sébastien Ogier adds another layer of chaos. The eight‑time champion has three wins and two seconds from just five starts this season and returns to Finland as a part‑time wildcard — a rally he’s won twice before. Factor in the WRC2 title scrap featuring Oliver Solberg, plus a razor‑close Junior WRC battle between Taylor Gill and Mille Johansson, and this year’s Rally Finland is loaded with storylines for punters.
