Scotland v Finland Friday at 20.45 CET

Hampden Park, Glasgow on Friday night, should be a cracking atmosphere but the Scots have not been playing well. Finland are rebuilding for a crack at Nations League.

A 2-0 win over Gibraltar is not an amazing result but it reversed the poor form they are on. Before that game a run of 7 games without a win (2 draws and 5 losses) Finland battled well against Portugal before eventually going down 4-2 but to score 2 was an achievement against a side many believe will go all the way in Germany.

Team news: Home side will likely rotate here. Lyndon Dykes and Ben Doak have left the squad. No new injury problems for Finland.

Head-to-head statistics: 8 games – 6 wins Scotand and 2 draws.

Betting selection – Scots just have not been clicking of late. Take Finland +1 at 1.65 or 13-20 Asian handicap. We get paid on Finland win or draw. A 1 goal win for Scotland gets us stakes returned.
