Watch Finland Vs. Italy Stream Live: UEFA Euro 2020 Qualifier Start Time, Preview, Group J Match


Italy are one of just three teams in the 2020 UEFA Euro qualifiers to have played five matches and won them all, according to UEFA.com, and they have a chance to hit 6-0 Sunday. But they face their biggest threat so far when they travel to Finland to take on the team that sits just three points off of Italy’s pace in 2nd place in Group J. Though Italy took the home fixture 2-0 back in March, manager Markku Kanerva has led his team to four consecutive wins since that defeat, without conceding a single goal, a streak they hope to continue in the game that will stream live from Finland.

Italy has suffered a rash of injuries, however, forcing boss Roberto Mancini to give four players, Pierluigi Gollini, Alex Meret, Luca Pellegrini, and Sandro Tonali, their international debuts on Sunday, per 90Min.com. Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini is the most notable injury scratch for Italy.

If Finland are to pull off the upset, they will need to rely on the leg of forward Teemu Pukki, who has scored four of his nation’s seven goals so far, in addition to tallying five times in his first four games for English Premier league side Norwich City, per Soccerway.

If they can take any points from Italy, Finland remain in a solid position to secure their first-ever qualification for the European Championships group stage, but in 13 matches dating back to 1939, Finland have managed a draw only one time, per 11v11.
