Finland have lost ten of their previous 12 internationals against Italy with just one win. I'm not expecting them to get a second win in this friendly international. It's the last chance for Italy to get some action before the European Championships begin. Recent form hasn't been that bad, not brilliant though. At the weekend they beat Scotland 1-0 despite only having 45% of the possession. They did manage to create 13 shots at goal while the poor Scots only had one. Italy continue to be strong at home with just one loss in the last 11. Their side is a vastly experienced one with plenty of players in their 30s. Finland finished fourth in their Euro 2016 qualifying group. They've only won one of the last six internationals and have had contrasting results in their last two games. Last weekend they drew 1-1 in Belgium but before that lost  2-0 to Norway, 5-0 to Poland and 2-0 at home to Estonia. It took a late Lukaku game to deny Finland a win in Belgium despite conceding 17 corners, good job for them Belgium had 22 shots go wide. Italy should get more possession here and can get a win on a -1 handicap.
