The San Marino national team has been a strong force in the qualifying cycle for EURO 2024, improving the goal difference to its rivals. However, Finland remains without a single point and is on track to finish with zero for the eighth time in the past nine European Qualifiers. The country has endured nine losses in as many matches, firmly anchored at the bottom of the table.

Finnish national team, led by Marrku Kanerva, started strong in the European Qualifiers, scoring 12 out of 15 points in the opening five rounds. However, they faced a disappointing slump, losing three of their past four qualifiers, destroying their hopes of a back-to-back EURO final appearance. To close the qualification window, the Eagle-Owls defeated Northern Ireland in their first November test, aiming to secure a 4-0 victory and close the gap in the top two spots.

Nicola Nanni may be sidelined for the last EURO 2024 qualification match due to injury, with Matteo Vitaioli taking over offensive duties. Filippo Fabbri, the key striker, will miss the final qualifying match against Finland due to a one-match suspension. Coach Fabrizio Constantini is considering introducing Simone Franciosi into the starting eleven, as the 22-year-old right-back scored a goal against Kazakhstan in the second half.

Teemu Pukki, the top scorer and second-most capped player in the national team, is eager to start against San Marino after claiming the Man of the Match title in a 4-0 victory over Northern Ireland. Head coach Markku Kanerva may give second-choice players a chance to start against the weakest nation in the world, as his team cannot secure a spot in next year’s finals in Germany.
