Finland on top: we expect them to avoid defeat and do most of the shooting.
Our model gives Finland a 95% chance of winning this UEFA Nations League game. A San Marino win is 1% and a draw 4%. Our predicted score is Finland 3–0 San Marino (16%), though no one exact score is likely on its own. We expect 4.0 goals in total: 3.8 for Finland and 0.2 for San Marino. Both teams scoring is only 21% and three or more goals is 77%.
On shots, our forecast is 23.2 for Finland and 4.4 for San Marino, with 11.2 and 1.3 on target, and corners at 8.7 to 1.6. So we expect Finland to do more of the shooting.
Of their last five meetings on our records, Finland have won five, San Marino none. When they last met, it finished San Marino 0–7 Finland, in Sept 2026. Bawler's pick for this game is Finland or Draw, Finland Over 17.5 Shots, Finland Over 7.5 Shots on Target and Finland Over 5.5 Corners. Our model gives all four landing together a 56% chance, which makes the fair price 4/5 (1.78).
