Spain have enjoyed a spectacular run in their recent fixtures. In their last six outings, they have won four matches and drawn two. During this period they have scored 29 goals and conceded just one. Undoubtedly, a team with so much momentum and great form is regarded by many as the favourites to win the 2022 Women’s Euro. Having being knocked out of the competition in the quarter finals in the previous two editions, the Spanish will be looking for a better outcome this time and justify their tag of tournament favourites.
Finland, on the other hand, haven’t enjoyed the best of runs in their recent fixtures. Their last six matches have yielded just two wins to go with a draw and three defeats. This certainly won’t be the pre-tournament scenario they would have hoped for. To make odds of them qualifying even worse, they find themselves in a group filled with giants in Spain, Denmark and Germany. This will be Finland’s fourth appearance in a Women’s European Championship and they will hope that they can defy the odds to produce something magical.
The Spanish women will be a little worried by the fact that two of their key players, Alexia Putellas and Jenni Hermoso won’t be available for the match and possibly the tournament. This will certainly hinder Spain’s chances of a win. As for Finland, the good news is that they are no fitness issues and the full roster is available for selection.
Spain women possible line-up: Panos, Battle, Paredes, Leon, Bonmati, Abelleira, Ouahabi, Guijarro, Garcia, Gonzalez, Caldentey
Finland women possible line-up: Korpela, Hyyrynen, Westerlund, Kuikka, Koivisto, Engman, Summanen, Alanen, Oling, Sallstrom, Frannsi
