The Scandinavian side were toppled 1-0 by Wales on home soil on Thursday evening, but proved they're no pushovers after finishing second in their Euro 2020 qualifying group of six, ahead of Greece.

Our prediction: Republic of Ireland v Finland
No manager wants to lose any game, particularly if it's their first game. Kenny avoided that fate thanks to Ireland's late strike, but he will demand a better showing here.
Ireland boast a fresh attacking line-up with Adam Idah, Aaron Connolly and Callum O'Dowda leading the team against Bulgaria.
It's an exciting trio, but may take some time to gel and flourish in the way it can. Until then, Ireland may need to settle for a few more indifferent results.
Our prediction: Republic of Ireland 1-1 Finland
