Finland - Belarus
Finland look to build momentum against Belarus at Olympiastadion
Benjamin Kaellman arrives at this UEFA Nations League C Group 1 fixture in clinical form after spearheading a dominant 7-0 victory against San Marino on 26 September 2026. Leading the expected XI for Finland at Olympiastadion, Kaellman will look to exploit a Belarus defence that struggled to contain their opponents in a recent outing. While Naatan Skyttae remains sidelined through injury, the hosts possess significant depth in their midfield, with Kaan Kairinen and Adam Markhiev expected to dictate the tempo as they aim to secure back-to-back wins in this matchday 2 encounter.
Belarus travel to the capital following a difficult 2-0 defeat against Albania on 26 September 2026. The visitors will rely on the experience of Max Ebong and Valeri Gromyko to stabilize their transition play and disrupt the home side's rhythm. Having last faced Finland in a 2018 friendly, Belarus will aim to improve their recent head-to-head record and find a breakthrough against a disciplined Finnish defensive line anchored by Viljami Sinisalo.
