Scotland vs Finland Preview, Prediction, and Team News | International Friendlies

Preview

The Scotland vs Finland international friendly fixture will present another opportunity for Scotland to try out various combinations and strategies before their group fixtures for the UEFA Euro 2024 commence. Steve Clarke’s side is coming fresh from a 0-2 win over Gibraltar. Conversely, Finland comes off a 4-2 defeat against Portugal.

In their loss against Portugal, Finland showed that they are capable of hurting the opposition on the attacking front. It’s just the defensive vulnerabilities that are letting the team down. They will be looking to sort that out before the Nations League begins in September 2024. On the other hand, Scotland will try to keep their winning momentum going before facing Germany in their opening match of Euro 2024.
