England is set to reclaim their winning form in the 2024/25 UEFA Nations League as they visit Finland this Sunday.
The Three Lions recorded a solid 2-0 victory over Finland earlier in the competition but faced a setback with a last-minute 2-1 defeat to Greece in their last match.
On the other hand, Finland is struggling, having lost their last three matches, including a recent 2-1 defeat against Ireland.
