Football Livescore | Match Prediction & Tips
------------------------------------
The Netherlands begin their 2026 World Cup qualifying journey with an away match against Finland, both part of Group G alongside Poland, Lithuania, and Malta.
Team Analysis:
The Netherlands are behind in World Cup qualifying after a tough Nations League exit and recent inconsistent results, but remain confident against Finland, whom they have beaten in recent encounters.
Finland, struggling in 2024 and recently relegated in the Nations League, have started 2025 unbeaten and aim for their first-ever World Cup, though their home form has been weak. Both teams face pressure to improve as Group G action continues.
Player Situation:
Finland's Roman Eremenko withdrew from the squad due to injury, while veterans like Lukas Hradecky and Teemu Pukki remain. Two young players are in contention for debuts.
The Netherlands miss several key players through injury but see Nathan Ake return. The Dutch lineup may feature Frenkie de Jong and Tijjani Reijnders in midfield, with Memphis Depay or Wout Weghorst leading the attack alongside promising forwards.
Result Prediction:
Finland’s chances of beating the Netherlands for the first time since 1950 are slim, and with a strong Dutch lineup expected, the Netherlands are likely to start Group G with a win.
Predicted Result: Finland 0-2 Netherlands.
