Finland 0-2 Greece

Current streaks

Recent form

Finland

Finland's recent form has been particularly poor, with the team currently enduring a concerning five-match losing streak in competitive fixtures. Their last positive result came in a 2-2 draw against Scotland in a friendly, but since then, they have struggled significantly in the UEFA Nations League. The Finns have conceded a worrying 13 goals in their last six matches, averaging 2.17 goals conceded per game, whilst only managing to score four times themselves. Their defensive frailties are further highlighted by their failure to keep a clean sheet in their last 10 matches. Notably, two-thirds of Finland's recent matches have seen over 2.5 goals, indicating high-scoring affairs, with their 3-0 loss to Greece standing out as a particularly heavy defeat. The team's goal difference of -9 over the last six games paints a stark picture of their current form, and they will be desperate to end their seven-game winless run in their upcoming fixtures.

Greece

Greece have shown impressive form in their recent fixtures, boasting a remarkable run of five consecutive victories before their most recent defeat to England. Their attacking prowess is evident, having scored 11 goals in their last six matches, averaging an impressive 1.83 goals per game. Defensively, Greece have been solid, conceding only four goals in this period and keeping four clean sheets. Their 2-1 victory over England in October stands out as a particularly notable result, demonstrating their ability to compete against top-tier opposition. The team's goal difference of +7 over these six matches further underlines their strong performances. However, their 3-0 loss to England in their most recent match suggests they may be facing tougher challenges as they progress in the UEFA Nations League.

Recent home/away form

Finland

Finland's recent home form has been inconsistent, with a notable downturn in their last two matches. The Finns have experienced a run of three consecutive home defeats, including losses to England, the Republic of Ireland, and Kazakhstan. Despite this poor run, they managed to secure two wins earlier in the sequence, including an impressive 4-0 victory over Northern Ireland in the Euros Qualifiers, which stands out as their highest-scoring game in this period. Their goal-scoring record has been relatively consistent, averaging 1.5 goals per game, but they've struggled defensively, conceding the same number. Interestingly, 83% of their recent home matches have seen over 2.5 goals, suggesting their games tend to be high-scoring affairs. However, Finland have managed only one clean sheet in their last six home games, indicating defensive vulnerabilities that they'll need to address to improve their home form.

Greece

Greece have been in impressive form away from home, securing four wins in their last six matches. They are currently on a three-game winning streak on the road, including notable victories against England and the Republic of Ireland in UEFA Nations League fixtures. The team has demonstrated a solid defensive record, keeping four clean sheets in their last six away games and conceding only 0.5 goals per game on average. Greece have also shown potency in attack, scoring nine goals in these six matches, with a consistent output of two goals in each of their last three away victories. Their recent away form suggests they are becoming a formidable opponent on foreign soil, with 67% of their matches featuring under 2.5 goals, indicating a tendency towards tighter, more controlled performances.
