Prediction: 1-1
Finland
Sparkles will be flying when Wales and Finland go head to head at Cardiff City Stadium in a highly-anticipated EURO 2024 playoff game. The Dragons were producing fine displays in the qualifiers, with the team beating star-studded Croatia at home, but they eventually finished the process in third place in the standings. Experienced midfielder Aaron Ramsey is rated doubtful for Thursday’s clash, while both Rabbi Matondo and Dylan Levitt return from injuries.
The Finns, on the other hand, are still relying on veteran Teemu Pukki, who has already netted two goals for Minnesota United in the new MLS campaign. Anyhow, a close encounter is on the cards in South Wales as Finland and Wales seem to be evenly matched at the moment. When the two teams met in a friendly at Helsinki Olympic Stadium three years ago, they played out a goalless draw and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
Highlighted Player (Aaron Ramsey):
Aaron Ramsey is a Welsh football player born on the 26th of December in Caerphilly. Ramsey started his football career playing for Cardiff City. After 2 seasons playing for Cardiff City Ramsey got transferred to Arsenal for a unknown transfer fee. After playing for a loan for Nottingham Forrest and Cardiff City Ramsey returned to Arsenal in 2011.
Aaron Ramsey made his debut for the Welsh national team in 2008 and is one of the youngest players in the history of Welsh football. Ramsey is currently one of the most talentful midfielders of his generation. Because of his dribbling skills, vision and great passes and being two-footed Ramsey is known for being a player that dominates the midfield.
Despite several injuries in his still young career Ramsey managed to win the FA cup and the Community Shield twice with Arsenal. Ramsey is called Rambo by his fans. Ramsey and Gareth Bale are the biggest strength of the Welsh national team which will play in the EURO 2016 for the first time in history.
Highlighted Team (Finland):
Finland national football team played their first international game before the World War 1. The Finns were beaten by fellow Nordic side Sweden (2-5) on October 22, 1911, but eleven years later they recorded their biggest ever win on the international stage.
Finland outclassed Estonia 10-2 in Helsinki and, speaking of their heaviest defeat, the team suffered a 13-0 loss to Germany in Leipzig during the World War II (1940). Finland national team became a member of FIFA back in 1908, but they have yet to qualify for the finals of the major tournament. The Finns did not participate in the European Championship finals as well, but several top-class footballers were part of their national football team in the past.
Former Liverpool ace Jari Litmanen scored 32 goals in 137 appearances for Finland and Sami Hyypia is yet another notable footballer who played for the Eagle-owls. The colour of Finland’s home kits is white, while they play their away games in blue shirts and blue shorts.
