Finland vs Slovakia prediction, preview, team news and more | International Friendlies 2021-22

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.
