Belarus and Finland meet often enough to have become a pairing that knows each other's game well, especially their most recent meeting which ended 0-0, and before that Finland had won 2-0 at home. This time it is a UEFA Nations League game, and both sides have already played their last two matches in this competition. Belarus have just won 4-0 in this competition and are unbeaten in 2 straight, but their game remains clearly one of having less possession than their opponents, averaging 39.1% over their last 10 matches and conceding 6.5 shots on target per game, while Finland have more possession at 53.8% and register 4.9 shots on target per game, yet their last two meetings in this competition finished with low-scoring scorelines. This game is likely to open with both sides waiting for their moment rather than trading blows, because Belarus at home tend to set up in a block first, while Finland can hold possession but must break down a packed defence. If the first half stays goalless, the second half should be the period when both sides open up more, but overall this still looks like a game where goals are unlikely to flow.
