Before the start of the group stage, bookmakers predicted Russia and Finland to finish 3rd and 4th respectively. However, Finland unexpectedly secured a 1:0 win over Denmark and will be looking to build on their success. In the meantime, Russia's first game ended in a devastating 3:0 loss to Belgium. Russia will not be able to call upon the services of Kudryashov, Zhirkov and Kuzyaev. It cannot be said that Finland looked better than Denmark in the opening match, but the Finns managed to clatch three points, though that match in Copenhagen was obviously overshadowed by the collapse of Christian Eriksen. Russian players are under mounting pressure after a poor start to their EURO campaign. At the same time, Finland had no pressure of expectations at all, and moreover, will enter the field on Wednesday in a great mood after their maiden victory at a major international tournament. We fancy backing the Scandinavian team in this encounter.
