England surprisingly lost 1-2 to Greece in the last match of the 2024-2025 Nations League. This was a match in which coach Carsley deployed a super attacking lineup but the results were not very good. The England players played too much, while the defense was careless.
The defeat to Greece caused the "Three Lions" to lose the top spot to their opponents. Worse, striker Bukayo Saka was injured and returned to Arsenal.
Carsley's experiments clearly cannot help England operate smoothly, even counterproductive. Therefore, this strategist will have to think about using a pure "number 9" like Solanke or Watkins in the match against Finland.
On the other side of the front line, Finland has sunk to the bottom of the League B Group 2 rankings. With losing all 3 matches this season, there is a high possibility that Finland will have to drop down to compete in League C.
In a context of needing points, having to face England will be a difficult challenge for Finland. They do not have much basis to think about winning points against England, even though the "Three Lions" have many problems that cannot be solved at this time.
In terms of head-to-head record, England have never lost to Finland, with six wins and two draws from eight matches. The Three Lions won 2-0 at home to Finland last month in the Nations League.
Notably, the "Three Lions" have scored 2 goals/match in the last 3 wins against Finland. Meanwhile, Finland has also scored in 4/6 recent matches.
