We said: Finland 1-1 Republic of Ireland

While they tend to struggle on the road, Finland have won both of their last two home matches and are now faced by an Irish side bereft of confidence - but the Boys in Green do boast some attacking talent. Both teams will sense this is one of their best chances to pick up three points, so the game could open up and end in a score draw. Read more.
