England welcome Finland to Wembley on September 10 with the Three Lions boasting 12 individual stars who are worth more than the visitors entire squad.
Interim manager Lee Carsley got off to the perfect start as he oversaw a fine 2-0 win over Ireland in the 2024/25 UEFA Nations League opener.
Ironically, former Irish youth internationals Declan Rice and Jack Grealish got themselves on the scoresheet at the Aviva Stadium. Naturally, many turned to X, formerly Twitter to voice their opinions.
The Scandinavians suffered a 3-0 defeat to Greece in Piraeus on MD1 and currently occupy bottom spot in league B group F.
Ahead of the game, the England vs Finland head-to-head stats suggest a home win is on the cards. Across their 11 meetings, the Three Lions have never lost to the Eagle-Owls.
However, the expected gulf in class is further highlighted by the current England vs Finland squad values. Not only are the Three Lions worth approximately 30x times more, they have 12 individual stars valued more than Finland’s entire squad.
That number would be closer to 20 if the likes of Jude Bellingham, Cole Palmer, Phil Foden, Ollie Watkins and Ivan Toney were involved. All other than the former Brentford man pulled out through injury.
Ahead of the match, the best football betting sites in the UK are pricing Lee Carsley’s side at 11/2 to win 3-0. A 4-0 victory can be backed at 9/1.
