Finland and Slovakia will go head-to-head in a thrilling international friendly fixture at the Estadio Nueva Condomina on Tuesday.
The hosts were held to a 1-1 draw by Iceland last time out, while Slovakia fell to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Norway.
Finland failed to return to winning ways on Saturday as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Iceland.
In that encounter, Norwich City forward Teemu Pukki struck in the opening 12 minutes before Birkir Bjarnason restored parity seven minutes away from half time.
This followed a 2-0 loss at the hands of France in their final World Cup qualification game which saw their two-match winning run come to an end.
Meanwhile, Slovakia were denied their second straight victory last time out as they lost 2-0 against Norway.
Prior to that, they were on a three-match unbeaten run, claiming two draws and an empathic 6-0 victory over Malta in their final World Cup qualification game.
Slovakia have now failed to win any of their last four friendly games since 2019 — claiming three draws and losing one — and will be looking to end this horrid run.
Finland vs Slovakia Head-To-Head
This will be the fourth-ever meeting between the two sides. Slovakia boast a superior record in their previous three meetings, claiming two wins.
Finland are yet to taste victory against the Slovakians, while the spoils have been shared once.
