Finland vs Ukraine prediction
Both Finland and Ukraine are in real need of the win here in this crucial second round of group games. That should lead to a very attacking contest as a result between the two teams. Whilst Finland drew 2-2 with Netherlands last time out, Ukraine were narrowly beaten 2-3 by Denmark in an absolute thriller.
Neither side have impressed defensively and it would be a surprise if we didn’t see plenty of goals, with the two nations each deploying highly offensive styles of play, which prioritises pushing men forward at every opportunity. Therefore, back over 2.5 goals to be scored regardless of who picks up the points.
Finland vs Ukraine tip: Over 2.5 goals
