Finland vs Slovenia Prediction and Betting Tips | June 16, 2023

Finland and Slovenia go head-to-head at the Helsinki Olympic Stadium in the 2024 European Championship qualifiers on Friday (June 16).

The hosts got their quest for a place in the Euro 2024 back on track with a narrow 1-0 win over Northern Ireland in March. Before that, Markku Kanerva’s men were on a five-game winless run, losing thrice, including a 3-1 defeat to Denmark in their group curtain-raiser on March 23.

Finland, who're fourth in Group H, will look to pick up two back-to-back wins for the first time since November 2021 and strengthen their stake for a place in Germany. Slovenia, meanwhile, maintained their perfect record in the qualifiers, beating San Marino 2-0 at the Stozice Stadium last time out.

That followed a 2-1 victory over Kazakhstan in their group opener in March, courtesy of second-half goals from David Brekalo and Zan Vipotnik. Slovenia have won their last four games across competitions and sit atop Group H with six points from a possible six.

Finland vs Slovenia Prediction

While Finland and Slovenia are closely matched, the visitors have put together a solid run and are the more in-form side. However, Finland have home advantage in their favour and should do just enough to force a share of the spoils.
