Finland host Belarus at the Olympiastadion in Helsinki in UEFA Nations League C Group 1, with both sides arriving off the back of opening matchday results that set very different tones for their campaigns.
Finland, under coach Jacob Friis, went into this round with momentum after a commanding 7-0 win over San Marino in their Nations League opener. That result will have settled nerves following a difficult run of friendly results, including heavy defeats to Germany and Hungary in the lead-up to the tournament.
Bearus arrive in Helsinki having lost their opening group fixture 2-0 to Albania, a setback that leaves Viktor Goncharenko's side needing a response. Their pre-tournament form had been encouraging, with three wins from five matches including a 4-1 victory over Syria.
Finland sit top of Group 1 after matchday one, while Belarus find themselves in third place and already under pressure to recover points. The gap in current standings gives this fixture genuine edge.
Friis will be looking for his side to back up that San Marino performance with another controlled display at home. Goncharenko, meanwhile, needs a reaction from a squad that showed real quality in the months before the competition began.
This is a fixture with clear implications for the group table, and both coaches will know that a result here could define the shape of their Nations League campaign.

Form

Across those five matches, Finland scored ten goals and conceded fourteen. The San Marino win broke a run of three games without a victory and will have provided a significant boost to Friis's side.
Bearus have won three and lost one of their last five, with one draw. Their most recent result was a 2-0 defeat to Albania in UEFA Nations League C, which ended a run that included a 4-1 win over Syria and back-to-back away victories against Armenia and Cyprus.

Head-to-Head Record
Head to Head
The most recent meeting between Finland and Belarus was a 2-0 Finland win in a friendly in June 2018. Across the last five recorded meetings, Finland have the stronger record, with three wins compared to no wins for Belarus, and two draws. The head-to-head includes two World Cup qualification encounters in 2013, with Finland winning the home leg 1-0 and the away fixture ending 1-1.
