Prediction: 4-0
Finland
Portugal will look to recover from a shocking 2-0 loss to Slovenia when they take on Finland in yet another pre-EURO friendly on Tuesday. A Selecao are seen as one of the main favourites to win the showpiece tournament in Germany as boss Roberto Martinez has a number of high-profile players to choose from. As the former Belgium head coach is going to field the best possible side against Finland, home win should be considered.
All Rafael Leao, Cristiano Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes, and Diogo Jota are expected to start against the Huuhkajat. The Finns, on the other hand, missed out on a spot at the EURO 2024 finals. As Portugal are determined to make amends for the loss at Slovenia, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. MLS star Teemu Pukki will be the man to watch in the away team.
Highlighted Player (Bruno Fernandes):
Bruno Fernandes is a Portuguese footballer who used to play for Novara before joining Udinese in a co-ownership deal in the summer of 2013. The Portuguese midfielder scored his first goal for the club in a 3-3 draw with Napoli on 7 December, 2013.
Three years later he signed a deal with Sampdoria for a fee of €7 million. Fernandes moved to Sampdoria in order to replace Roberto who reinforced Villarreal. Soriano He played 33 games for the Zebrette in the 2015/2016 Serie A campaign, scoring three goals for the club, while providing four assists for his teammates.
Fernandes is a central midfielder, but he is capable of playing as a secondary striker as well. He was born in Maia, Portugal on 8 September, 1994 and he began his youth career at Infesta. Fernandes has seven caps for Portugal U21 team and he has played 4 matches for the U23 team.
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.
