Football Livescore | Match Prediction & Tips
-----------------------------
The Netherlands aim to strengthen their hold on Group G's top spot as they host Finland in Amsterdam. They currently lead both Finland and second-placed Poland by three points. A win this weekend would bring them closer to securing a place at World Cup 2026.
Team Analysis:
The Netherlands bounced back from a shaky September with a dominant 4-0 win over Malta, restoring order in their Group G campaign. They now sit three points clear at the top and can edge closer to World Cup 2026 qualification with a win over Finland. Finland, needing all three points to stay in contention, face a tough challenge given their history of five straight losses to the Dutch this century.
Player Situation:
Memphis Depay may return to lead the attack for the Netherlands, linking up with Gakpo and Frimpong, while Wout Weghorst could make way after starting against Malta. Koeman has adjusted his squad due to injuries and withdrawals, with Donyell Malen providing another attacking option. Finland face multiple absences, including defender Robert Ivanov, captain Lukas Hradecky, and midfielder Rasmus Schuller, forcing changes in goal and up front.
Result Prediction:
The Netherlands are expected to dominate Finland again, despite only a three-point gap in Group G. Finland’s rare win over Poland offers little confidence, as they have suffered 11 defeats since last year. The Oranje’s attacking strength makes it hard to see the visitors coping this time.
Predicted Result: Netherlands 2-0 Finland.
