  • Location: Helsinki Olympic Stadium, Helsinki, Finland
  • Day/Time: Thursday, October 10, 2:45 p.m. ET

The Finns aim to recover from back-to-back losses to Greece and England and, no doubt, they are desperate to grab something from their third group game. As always, a man to watch in the home team will be Teemu Pukki, who has netted 42 goals in 123 appearances for the national team.

The Boys in Green aim to make amends for back-to-back defeats to England and Greece as well and, taking everything into account, there is a big value in betting on both teams to score.

Luton Town centre-back Mark McGuinness has received his first call-up, while Middlesbrough midfielder Finn Azaz returns to the squad. Everton right-back Seamus Coleman has been ruled out with injury, while Ipswich Town midfielder Jack Taylor could make his Ireland debut in Thursday’s clash.

Finland is the slight favorite priced at a +176 soccer betting line. You can watch the game on FOX or stream it on FuboTV on Thursday, October 10 at 2:45 p.m. ET.

2 Bets for Finland vs Republic of Ireland

1. Bet Finland and Under

Finland and Ireland have both lost their opening two Nations League matches without scoring and a cagey contest looks likely in Helsinki on Thursday.

This fixture rarely sets the pulse racing and four of the seven meetings between these nations have featured two goals or fewer.

Finland won the previous two meetings 1-0 and that looks like a strong correct soccer score prediction with the best bet being a home win in a match featuring no more than two goals.

Ireland are in miserable shape and goals have been particularly hard to come by, with the Boys in Green firing blanks in seven of their last ten outings.

On home soil, Finland is fancied to have the edge and we predict a low-scoring Finland win looks the most likely outcome, as has been the case in the last two meetings.

Finland could dominate and win this clash, so if you’re looking for great online betting value, you should combine Finland’s moneyline with under 2.5 goals at +350.

2. Joel Pohjanpalo to Shine for Finland

Finland’s Joel Pohjanpalo broke the deadlock against Northern Ireland in a recent home clash and may start here after netting twice in four games for Serie A’s side Venezia since the last international break.

If you’re betting online and looking for a great soccer player prop, back Pohjanpalo to contribute on the scoresheet at +400.
