Finland-England is a match on the fourth day of the Nations League group stage and is played Sunday at 6 p.m.: free streaming, likely lineups, prediction.
Last Thursday, Lee Carsley’s England stumbled in its first defeat since the interim coach (for the time being on “loan” from the Under-21 team) sits on the bench. Truly unbeaten defeat that of the Three Lions’ selection, who were overwhelmed 2-1 at Wembley by Greece, which throughout its history had never won at the English facility.
Carsley, having to do without the injured Harry Kane – the center forward arrived in training camp injured – had deployed a superoffensive formation in any case, without a role forward but with Palmer, Saka, Gordon, Foden and Bellingham distributed between midfield and attack. The experiment did not seem to have succeeded, as England appeared too smoky and impractical, and the Hellenes took advantage to hurt on the counterattack.
Bellingham had brought the score back to a draw with three minutes left, but in the midst of recovery it was Pavlidis – the Benfica striker netted a brace – who gave Greece a historic victory, now the only full-scorer in League B Group 2. England, in fact, is now forced to chase: the match with Finland, if the goal is direct promotion, is one not to be missed. Against the Scandinavians, reeling from three consecutive defeats – on Thursday they also surrendered to Ireland – Kane should return from 1′, while Saka will not return after the knock he suffered against Greece.

The Prediction
After the inexplicable tumble with Greece, England should return to winning ways against the selection that has not collected a single point since the Nations League began (a month ago it ended 2-0 for the English). We expect at least three goals overall in Helsinki.
