Finland vs Great Britain prediction

Great Britain were expected to be down the bottom end of the table and so far, that has come true when taking into account their results. Finland will come into this one eying up three more precious points and they have every reason to be confident of getting them when taking into account their recent form and 100% record in Group A.

Only Switzerland and Canada has scored more than Finland’s 20 goals following their 1-7 thrashing of Latvia and they are looking outstanding from an offensive point of view. In this mood, any defence would struggle to cope with them. Any outcome other than a resounding blowout victory by Finland over the Brits would be seen as a surprise.

Finland vs Great Britain tip: Finland to win with -5.5 handicap
