Iceland vs Finland lineups

 2nd match for coach Backe. A terrible first behind with a poor squad. A friendly.

Edit, Iceland won 1-0 with a first half goal from their rather limited chances. Poor quality match where a draw might more fair result.

FIN U18 vs Slovenia at Granatkin Jan 10th 2016

Not fully the team I would had chosen, but there may be some knocks, and of course it is good to have a few options also on the bench.

FIN starting 11 vs Sweden @ Abu Dhabi friendly

Bettinwise not interesting match and the only point of interest is that this is the first match for Swedish coach Backe coaching Finland. This match is NOT an official UEFA friendly.

 Edit.. did not go too well. 3-0. Highlights.

23 Markus Uusitalo

Sweden to field Allsvenskan players and deserve to be about 43% favs on neutral (or 40-46 to be more realistic), but the allowed 10! subs in this match kill all betting interest. For Fin gk this is his debut at +30 years, at Sweden they have the youth hero instead.
