Team Reviews
Netherlands Women
The Netherlands Women’s National Football Team, nicknamed the Leeuwinnen (Lionesses) and coached by Andries Jonker, is ranked 11th in the FIFA world rankings as of June 2025. They come off a 4-1 friendly win over China on November 29, 2024, and a 0-0 draw against England, showcasing their attacking depth and defensive resilience. Their form in the last five matches includes 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss, averaging 2.8 goals scored and 0.8 goals conceded per game. Key players include Lineth Beerensteyn, who scored in their 1-0 win over Finland on May 31, 2024, and Esmee Brugts, a versatile Barcelona star. The Netherlands’ strengths are their attacking flair (15-0 vs. Indonesia in October 2024) and midfield control, led by Daniëlle van de Donk, but their recent slip from the top 10 and occasional over-reliance on star players like Vivianne Miedema are concerns. This friendly prepares them for their UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 opener against Wales on July 5.
Finland Women
Finland Women’s National Football Team, nicknamed the Boreal Owls (Helmarit) and coached by Marko Saloranta, is ranked 27th in the FIFA world rankings as of December 2023. They drew 1-1 with Scotland in the Pinatar Cup and beat the Philippines 4-0 in a friendly in February 2025. Their form shows 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in their last five, averaging 1.6 goals scored and 0.6 goals conceded. Key players include captain Tinja-Riikka Korpela, a reliable goalkeeper, and forward Sanni Franssi, who assisted in their 1-0 loss to the Netherlands on May 31, 2024. Finland’s strengths are their defensive organization and counter-attacking threat, but their lower ranking and struggles against top-tier teams (4-0 loss to Norway in 2024) limit their chances. This match is a chance to test themselves against a strong opponent before their EURO 2025 campaign starts against Iceland on July 2.
Head-to-Head
The Netherlands and Finland have met six times since 2009, with the Netherlands leading 3-1-2, per AiScore.com. The Netherlands won 1-0 on May 31, 2024, in a UEFA Women’s Championship qualifier, with Beerensteyn scoring, and 2-0 in a 2022 friendly (Vivianne Miedema, 30’ and 70’). Finland’s sole win was a 2-1 result in 2009. Matches average 1.8 goals, with 33% over 2.5 goals, favoring the Netherlands’ attacking edge. Their latest encounter, a 1-1 draw on June 4, 2024, in Finland, showed Finland’s resilience but highlighted the Netherlands’ dominance (8 goals to Finland’s 3 in 6 games).
Prediction: Netherlands Women 2-0 Finland Women
This friendly on June 26, 2025, at Bingoal Stadium, The Hague, at 2:00 PM CET (8:00 AM EDT), is a EURO 2025 tune-up. The Netherlands, playing at home, should control possession with van de Donk and Brugts, targeting Finland’s defense through Beerensteyn or Miedema. Finland’s Korpela and Franssi may keep it tight, but their lower scoring output (1.6 goals per game) and 0-4 record against top-15 teams since 2024 suggest a struggle. Posts on X highlight the Netherlands’ confidence after their China rout, with @BarcaFem noting Brugts’ impact. Both teams’ trends (Netherlands: 60% of last 5 over 2.5 goals; Finland: 20%) and head-to-head data point to a controlled game with moderate goals. Referee Frida Klarlund may issue cards if Finland’s physicality, seen in their 1-1 draw, escalates.
The Netherlands are likely to score through Beerensteyn or a Brugts assist, with Korpela keeping Finland in it early. The Netherlands’ superior quality and home advantage should secure a comfortable win, preparing them for EURO 2025, while Finland gains valuable experience.
