On Tuesday, a huge summer of international action gets underway for Roberto Martinez’s Portugal when they play one of their final three warm-up matches before the EUROs. They should have an excellent chance of going deep in the tournament in Germany this year, with the Portuguese boasting fantastic quality in the final third of the field with the likes of Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, and João Félix.
However, Martinez will be looking for a response from his side in this week’s showdown after suffering a rare defeat in the previous international break against Slovenia. But before making a Portugal vs Finland prediction, it could be worth noting that the defeat in March ended their eleven-match winning sequence following the 2022 World Cup. Over that period, Portugal had kept nine clean sheets, and scored an impressive 41 goals.
Finland made history back in 2020 as they competed in their first major international tournament. However, they will play no part at the EUROs this summer, meaning that the full attention of Markku Kanerva will be on tactical matters with the World Cup qualifiers in mind. Finland’s race for a EURO spot ended in Cardiff in March after suffering a 4-1 defeat against Wales.
However, they did respond to that setback with a fine 2-1 home win over Estonia. That was their third victory in four internationals, but they remain among the unlikely football predictions against one of the leading contenders for EURO glory this summer. However, on paper, they have won six of their last ten international fixtures.
Bet herePortugal’s form since the arrival of Martinez has been excellent, and they look good value to continue that progression in their final warm-up matches before the EUROs when making a Portugal vs Finland prediction.
The national team has won eleven of their last 12 matches, and over 2.5 goals have been scored in four of their last seven matches.
Martinez will likely try out some new players in this warm-up match, meaning players such as Fernandes, Silva, and Cristiano Ronaldo may be handed places on the bench. Therefore, there could be value in siding with Goncalo Ramos to find the back of the net. The striker has an excellent record for his national side after netting eight in eleven appearances.
