THE PREDICTION

Neither side are able to select anywhere close to their strongest squads with these matches taking place in the middle of the European season, outside of the Nordic region. Sweden, for example, have only selected five capped players in their 26-man squad. As well as that, Finland, under the management of Markku Kanerva, have been able to name ten capped players but they are still very inexperienced. This is, therefore, likely to be a disjointed match and a draw seems likely but a low-scoring encounter seems inevitable.
