Finland and Romania will lock horns at the Helsinki Olympic Stadium in Group B3 of the UEFA Nations League on Friday.

Finland were condemned to a second consecutive defeat last time out as they were beaten 3-2 by Bosnia and Herzegovina on June 14.

Elsewhere, Romania were sent crashing down to earth last time out as they fell to a 3-0 loss against Montenegro on home turf.

This followed a 1-0 victory over Finland on June 11 which saw their four-game winless run come to an end.

Romania, who are winless in three consecutive away games, will be looking to end this dry spell and leapfrog Friday’s hosts in the table.
