MANAGER Markku Tapio Kanerva will need his Finland team to be on top form to beat England.
The two nations go face to face at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday in the Nations League.
The Three Lions have a near-perfect record against the Scandinavian side, having won nine out of 11 matches, drawing the other two.
The last time the two nations clashed was in March 2001, with England winning the World Cup qualifier 2-1.
Aki Riihilahti had put Finland ahead before Michael Owen and David Beckham scored to win the game.
The visitors will be expecting plenty of travelling fans to come and show their support.
