The match finished 1-0, with striker Joel Pohjanpalo scoring the winner from close-range.

Russia suffered a much different result, losing 3-0 as Belgium wreaked havoc on the 2018 World Cup quarter-finalists.

Here’s everything you need to know about the match:

When is it?

The fixture will kick-off at 2pm BST at the Krestovsky Stadium.

How can I watch it?

The match is live on BBC Onewith coverage starting from 1:45pm BST. It can also be streamed online via the BBC iPlayer.

Confirmed line-ups:

Finland: Hradecky; Toivo, Arajuuri, O’Shaughnessy; Raitala, Lod, Schuller, Kamara, Uronen; Pukki, Pohjanpalo

Russia: Safonov; Barinov, Dzhikiya, Diveev; Fernandes, Zobnin, Ozdoev, Kuzyayev; Miranchuk, Golovin; Dzyuba.

Odds:

Finland: 5/1

Draw: 13/5

Russia: 8/13

Prediction:

Russia were poor in their opening match, but they were facing a very strong Belgian side. Finland are plucky and difficult to break down, and I don’t see Russia having the power to get all three points. 0-0.
