Current streaks

Recent form

Finland

Finland's recent form has been concerning, with the team currently on a three-game losing streak in UEFA Nations League matches. Their last six games have seen them struggle defensively, conceding 14 goals while scoring only 7, resulting in a -7 goal difference. Notably, Finland has failed to keep a clean sheet in any of these matches, with both teams scoring in 67% of the games. The team's defensive vulnerabilities are further highlighted by the high average of 3.5 total goals per game, with 83% of matches seeing over 2.5 goals. A particularly high-scoring game was the 4-2 loss to Portugal in a friendly, contributing to the team's worrying goals conceded per game average of 2.33. Despite these challenges, Finland did manage a 2-1 victory against Estonia in a friendly, providing a glimmer of hope amidst their recent poor run of form.

England

England's recent form has been inconsistent, with 3 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses in their last 6 matches. The team has shown some offensive prowess, scoring 9 goals in total (1.5 per game), but their defense has been somewhat shaky, conceding 6 goals (1 per game). Notably, England managed to keep clean sheets in two of these matches. The team's goal difference remains positive at +3, indicating they are still outscoring their opponents overall. Interestingly, both teams scored in 67% of the matches, suggesting England's games have been competitive and entertaining. The total goals average of 2.5 per game, with an even split between matches going over and under 2.5 goals, further emphasizes the balanced nature of their recent performances. However, there are no significant winning or losing streaks to report, and no particularly high-scoring games stand out in this set of results.

Recent home/away form

Finland

Finland's recent home form has been inconsistent, with three wins and three losses in their last six matches. The team has shown the ability to score heavily, particularly in their 6-0 victory over San Marino and 4-0 win against Northern Ireland, contributing to an impressive average of 2.33 goals scored per game. However, they've also suffered narrow defeats, including a recent 2-1 loss to the Republic of Ireland. Defensively, Finland has been relatively solid, conceding only one goal per game on average and keeping two clean sheets. The high-scoring nature of their matches is evident, with 83% of games featuring over 2.5 goals and an average total of 3.33 goals per match, making their home games typically entertaining affairs.

England

England's recent away form shows a mixed but generally positive trend. In their last six away matches, they've managed 3 wins, 2 draws, and only 1 loss, demonstrating resilience on foreign soil. The team has been fairly consistent in scoring, netting 8 goals across these games for an average of 1.33 goals per match, while their defense has been solid, conceding just 5 goals (0.83 per game). Notably, England has kept two clean sheets in this period, both resulting in victories. The majority of their away fixtures (67%) have been low-scoring affairs with under 2.5 goals, suggesting tight, competitive matches. Interestingly, there's been a tendency for both teams to score in these games (67% of the time), indicating that while England is finding the net, they're also vulnerable defensively. Their most recent outing, a 2-0 win against the Republic of Ireland, marks their best away performance in this stretch, both in terms of goal difference and defensive solidity.
