In the five-match history of the confrontation, Finland has only won once against Norway, but we believe that right now the Finns' chances of victory are quite high.

We suggest betting on the success of the home team.
Our forecast is Asian handicap (0) on Finland for 2.03
Bet on total
The hosts will try to play reliably in defense on their home field, and in recent matches the Finns have done well at this. In the last five matches the team has conceded only three goals, so there is a chance not to concede from Norway. We do not expect a goal extravaganza here and suggest betting on the total under.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals for 1.95
Bet on corners
We believe that the teams in this match will rely on defense, so we are unlikely to see a large number of corners here. It is worth betting on the total under this indicator.
Our prediction is total under 9.5 corners for 1.80
