Finland vs Belgium match analysis

Despite entering their final group match as underdogs with Euro 2020 betting sites, Finland (+1000) still have a chance to qualify for the knockout stages. Having suffered a 1-0 defeat to Russia in their last match, Finland need at least a draw to be a chance of progressing through to the round of 16. Striker Joel Pohjanpalo has given defences are few issues this tournament with limited opportunities, whilst keeper Lukas Hradecky has been in fine form with eight saves in Finland’s first two matches.

Belgium have shown why they are the no.1-ranked team in the world. They were clinical against Russia in their opening match when winning 3-0 and then came from 1-0 down to edge out a spirited Denmark side on the back of a second-half masterclass from Kevin De Bruyne. The Red Devils have already secured a place in the knockout phase, and a point against Finland is all they need to make sure of top spot in Group B.

Finland vs Belgium betting tips

Total goals: Over 2.5

The overs has landed in both of Belgium’s games so far, each of which finished with three goals in total. With attacking options such as Romelu Lukaku, Eden Hazard, Thorgan Hazard, Dries Mertens and Kevin De Bruyne, this Belgian side is stacked with goal scoring talent. Manager Roberto Martinez may look to rest a couple of his star players for Belgium’s final match of the group stage, but with the likes of Christian Benteke, Michi Batshuayi and Yannick Carrasco wanting to prove their worth, Finland could be in for a long night.

Anytime goalscorer: Eden Hazard

Real Madrid winger Eden Hazard has shown signs of being back to his best after a quiet season in La Liga. Having set up Kevin De Bruyne’s go-ahead goal against Denmark, the former Chelsea superstar will be looking to gain some goalscoring confidence ahead of the knockout stages. He has not scored for the national team since November 2019, but we expect him to provide a moment of magic in St Petersburg.
