Wales has participated in the last two EUROs, but unfortunately didn’t manage to progress past their group stage. However, they are presented with a great chance to advance through the promotion playoff. If they secure a win against Finland this Thursday, they will have the opportunity to host either Poland or Estonia in the final tie. Wales has shown exceptional performance in the concluding months of 2023, remaining unbeaten in their last six matches. Their previous match against Turkey at home resulted in a 1-1 draw.

In the EURO qualifiers group, Denmark and Slovenia surpassed Finland by four points. However, thanks to an impressive performance in the Nations League, Finland, under the leadership of Markku Kanerva, received a second chance in the playoff. Unfortunately, Finland did not perform well in 2023, falling short in nearly all of their last five matches. They managed a 2-1 win against San Marino in their final match, but it was a slim victory against one of the world’s weakest teams, leaving Finnish fans expecting more.

Wales vs Finland pick: Wales to win

Since 2020, Wales and Finland have had three encounters. Wales emerged victorious in two of those games, while the friendly match earlier resulted in a 0-0 draw in Helsinki. Given Wales’ current form, they seem superior to Finland, hence it is plausible to anticipate their victory in the forthcoming match.

Wales team news

The inclusion of Aaron Ramsey by Robert Page in the Welsh squad was the most surprising. The former star of Arsenal and Juventus has only participated in nine Championship games for Cardiff this season, due to two significant injuries. As a result, he has only played in three matches over the past few months. Despite playing only 18 minutes last weekend in his first game following a calf injury, it remains unlikely that the head coach will start Ramsey.

Finland team news

Finland’s team doesn’t boast a major star. Despite a draw, Head Coach Markku Kanerva has already acknowledged that Wales is the favored team to win. However, he consistently maintains that we can anticipate a combative Finland in the game.

Glen Kamara is likely the best player from Finland. The midfielder, who has played in 30 league games for Leeds this season, is set to make his 59th appearance for Finland in a match against Wales. In addition to Kamara, Captain Lukas Hradecky and forward Joel Pohjanpalo are also noteworthy.
