Finland vs Netherlands Prediction and Betting Tips | June 7th 2025

Finland will face the Netherlands at the Helsinki Olympic Stadium on Saturday in another round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. The home side have enjoyed an encouraging start to their qualifying campaign picking up four points from an obtainable six and now sit second in Group G as they target a debut appearance on the global stage.

They picked up a narrow and hard-fought 1-0 win over 10-man Malta in their group opener back in March, with Go Ahead Eagles winger Oliver Antman scoring the sole goal of the game late in the first half. They then played out a 2-2 draw against Lithuania in their second game, taking a two-goal lead in the opening 20 minutes before their opponents came back to draw level.

The Netherlands, meanwhile, were engaged in UEFA Nations League action during the last international break. They faced Spain in the quarterfinals of the competition, playing out a 2-2 draw in the first leg and a 3-3 draw in the second before ultimately losing the tie on penalties.

The visitors will now turn their attention to the World Cup qualifiers this weekend and will be looking to open their group with a win.

Finland vs Netherlands Prediction

Huuhkajat are on a run of back-to-back unbeaten outings after losing their previous six games. They have, however, lost their last three games on home soil and will have their work cut out this weekend.

Holland are winless in their last three matches and have won just one of their last seven. They are, however, the far stronger side ahead of Saturday's contest and should extend their dominance in this fixture.

Prediction: Finland 1-3 Netherlands
