The emotions continue during the Euro 2020, and, as in all big tournaments, there are always teams that surprise us and stand out better than others. After the first match of Group B, we have Belgium in first place with 3 points, Finland with 3 points in second place, Denmark in third place, and Russia at the bottom with 0 points.
For this second match, we have the meeting between Russia and Finland, which will be played this Wednesday, June 16, 2021, at the Krestovski Stadium, in Saint Petersburg.
How do Finland and Russia arrive?
The Russian team that continues to play its home games comes from a painful defeat in its debut at this Euro 2020 against the powerful Belgium team, with 0-3. The Belgians primarily dominated the Russians; they only managed to possess the ball at 33% and only managed 5 shots, with only 1 on target. Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku tore the Russian defense to pieces throughout the game, scoring a double, his first goal in the 10th minute and the second in the 34th minute.

The Finnish team comes to this match being the surprise of the first day. A team that had never participated in a large national team tournament defeated a team from Denmark in its first match of a European Championship. It should be noted that their superior players play in different clubs throughout the world.
Finland, in this match, used a single play to end Denmark’s aspirations. While it’s true that Denmark dominated the entire game and that they had 22 scoring chances, with 6 shots on goal, the low effectiveness of their forwards took its toll on them and, the most impressive thing is that Finland created only one scoring chance. It was the goal scored by Joel Pohjanpalo in the 59th minute.

This is a crucial match between Finland and Russia that will determine the tournament’s first elimination and give the first place to a Finnish team if a surprise occurs in the Belgium match.
