In the absence of Ryan Giggs, Robert Page has taken over the responsibility to manage Wales for the time being. Wales will be aware that a draw would ensure promotion to League A. 

On the other hand, Markku Kanerva's Finland have had a near-perfect campaign of their own, the only blemish being a late 1-0 defeat against Wales when the sides met in Helsinki on two months ago. Since then, Finland have won all four of their Nations League games and also beat World Champions France 2-0 in an international friendly last week.

Finland have no option but to beat Wales if they want to earn promotion to League A as they currently sit just a point behind the leaders. However, Finland have managed to beat Wales only four times in 13 previous meetings between the two sides. Based on the recent results of both teams, our Wales vs Finland prediction is a 2-2 draw.
