Sun Oct 13 17:22:53 UTC 2024: ## England’s Nations League Hopes on the Line as they Face Finland in Helsinki

**Helsinki, Finland** – England’s hopes of securing a spot in the Nations League playoffs hang in the balance as they face Finland on Sunday at the Helsinki Olympic Stadium. The Three Lions, fresh off a surprising defeat to Greece, are looking to bounce back against a Finnish side who have yet to earn a point in the group.

The match, kicking off at 9:30 pm IST, will be a crucial encounter for both teams. A win for England would be essential to their chances of topping the group, while Finland will be hoping to avoid a fourth consecutive loss and secure their first points of the campaign.

England will be without several key players including Harry Kane, who has recently stepped down from international duties. However, they will be looking to Gareth Southgate’s young guns like Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden to lead them to victory.

Finland, on the other hand, will be hoping to capitalize on England’s vulnerabilities and secure a surprise result. They will be looking to their experienced striker Joel Pohjanpalo, who scored the only goal in their previous loss to Ireland, to provide the spark up front.

The match will be televised live on the Sony Sports Network in India and streamed live on the SonyLIV app and website.
