Comments and predictions for Iceland Women vs Finland Women: Opening the narrow door

Latest information on Iceland Women vs Finland Women's team

The Icelandic women's team entered the opening match of EURO 2025 with almost the strongest squad, without any losses in terms of force. This was an opportunity for coach Porsteinn Halldorsson to launch a squad rich in youth and demonstrate a fast, fierce playing style against an experienced opponent like Finland. On the contrary, the Finnish women's team encountered many difficulties in preparation due to a series of injuries to key players. That forced coach Marko Saloranta to put his trust in veterans over 30 years old, significantly affecting the overall strength of the team compared to previous EUROs.

Latest Iceland Women vs Finland Women football prediction

The confrontation between Iceland and Finland is a clash between two schools: Iceland's youth and speed versus Finland's experience and bravery. Although the history of the confrontation is somewhat balanced (Iceland won 2, Finland won 1, drew 2), at the moment all factors are leaning towards Iceland. The girls from the island had a positive start when defeating Serbia 3-1 and played resiliently against strong opponents like Switzerland or Norway. In particular, Iceland's attack is playing quite sharply, often creating advantages in the first half.

Meanwhile, Finland have yet to show any signs of recovery after a forgettable EURO 2022 campaign, where they lost all three group stage matches and scored just one goal. Recent results, such as draws with Belarus and Serbia, have shown a decline in speed and fitness, especially in defence. The Nordic side now relies heavily on the experience of their veterans, but that is no longer an advantage in a context where fitness and speed are key factors in modern women's football.

With a more energetic force, stable performance and the desire to win all 3 points to keep the hope of passing the group stage, the Icelandic women's team is completely capable of winning against Finland. The physical advantage and confidence after a series of quality friendly matches are solid foundations for the Icelandic girls to aim for 3 important points.
