Finland host Belarus in the UEFA Nations League. Belarus have been winning fairly consistently in their recent outings, while Finland's form has swung between big wins and heavy defeats.
The two countries have barely crossed paths, with just one meeting on record between them, back in 2018. That leaves us relying mostly on how each side has performed since, against very different levels of opposition.

Form Going In
Finland have won two of their last six matches, with three defeats mixed in, including a 4-0 loss away to Germany and a 2-1 defeat away to Hungary. Their only win in that sample came at home against Andorra, so there isn't much to judge their home form on specifically.

Belarus, meanwhile, have won six of their last eight games, losing just once, at home to Russia. That said, most of those wins came against sides like Tajikistan, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan, so it's hard to read too much quality into the numbers.
Belarus's form looks stronger on paper, but the calibre of opposition makes a direct comparison tricky.
Comparative Team Statistics: Finland vs Belarus
Head-to-Head
These sides have met just once in the data available, back in 2018, when Finland won 2-0 at home. That's too old and too thin a sample to tell us anything meaningful about this fixture.
| League | Home | Away | Date | Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Friendlies | Finland | Belarus | 09.06.2018 | 2-0 |
What to Expect
Goals have flowed unevenly in both teams' recent matches. Belarus have been involved in some big scorelines, including a 5-0 win away to Tajikistan and a 1-4 loss at home to Russia. Finland have had similarly stretched results, from a 4-0 win over Andorra to a 4-0 loss away to Germany.
With both sides capable of either shutting up shop or getting stretched at the back, the goal line for this one isn't easy to call from what we've seen so far.

Put together, we've got a home side with an inconsistent recent record and an away side that's been winning but mostly against lesser opposition. Neither sample gives a confident read on how this specific match will go.
Given the gap between the form we've seen and how the market is pricing this game, we'd rather sit this one out than force a selection.
