Belarus host Finland in Nations League in Budapest

Recent form points different ways

Belarus have won three and drawn two of their last five matches, scoring nine goals across that run. Their most recent outing ended 2-2, and they recorded a 4-1 victory before that. Finland's recent record is less assured: two wins, one draw and two defeats in their last five. Both losses came in their two most recent matches, a 4-0 reverse and then a 2-1 defeat.

Sparse history between the sides

The four previous meetings produced seven goals in total, an average of 1.75 per match. Belarus have not won any of them, drawing twice and losing twice. The most recent encounter was in June 2018, a 2-0 defeat for Belarus. The other three all took place between 2008 and 2013, two of them finishing 1-1 and the other 1-0 to Finland. Neither side has managed to score more than twice in any of those four matches, and two of them ended goalless for Belarus.
