Ireland vs Finland: Battle for survival in the UEFA Nations League

The stakes are high as Ireland and Finland face off in a crucial UEFA Nations League clash at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin on Thursday evening.
With both teams currently languishing near the bottom of Group B3, a win is imperative to avoid relegation to League C.
Ireland, managed by Stephen Kenny, have endured a disappointing campaign, winning just one of their four matches so far. They are currently second from bottom on three points, one point behind Finland.
Finland, meanwhile, have fared slightly better, winning two of their four games. However, they are still in danger of dropping down to League C if they fail to get a result in Dublin.
Both teams will be desperate to avoid the drop, and the match is likely to be a close and tense affair.
Ireland will be looking to key players such as captain Seamus Coleman, goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu, and striker Callum Robinson to inspire them to victory.
Finland, meanwhile, will be hoping that striker Teemu Pukki can continue his fine form for club and country.
The match is set to kick off at 7.45pm Irish time and will be broadcast live on RTE 2.
Prediction
Ireland and Finland are two evenly matched teams, and it is difficult to predict who will come out on top in Dublin. However, Ireland will be playing at home and will be desperate to avoid relegation.
I predict that Ireland will win the match 2-1.
