The UEFA Euro 2020 returns to the fold with another set of group matches this week as Finland take on Russia at the Krestovsky Stadium on Wednesday. The two European sides find themselves at opposite ends of the group and will want to win this game.

Finland won their first game of Euro 2020 against Denmark and will want to pull off another positive result in this fixture. The Finnish team does have a few problems to solve and will need to be at its best in this match.

Russia, on the other hand, were given a reality check by Belgium in their previous game and cannot afford another debacle against Finland. The Russians have good players in their ranks and will need to prove their mettle on Wednesday.

Aditya is a European and international football writer at Sportskeeda, covering previews, news, post-match articles and live blogs for 5 years. During his time here, he has had the privilege of covering a press meeting during the collaboration between his favorite club Bengaluru FC and Sevilla, where he got a chance to interact with Sevilla president Jose Castro and explore the grassroots development in his city.

Aditya started following the sport after being dazzled by Ronaldinho’s silky feet at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. He is a Barcelona fan and unsurprisingly, his favorite manager and players are Pep Guardiola and Andres Iniesta respectively. He admires the latter for his superhuman talent and his off-pitch demeanor, and his winning goal in Spain’s 2010 World Cup final win over the Netherlands left a lasting impact on Aditya.

The match-preview specialist believes that his ongoing five-year stint at Sportskeeda has given him the ability to identify the distinct line between emotional and fact-based articles, which separates him from other journalists. For him, fact-checking is the most integral part of his writing process and he only relies on authentic platforms for data.

Aditya is a semi-professional pianist and likes to participate in concerts and recitals when not immersed in football.
