Both Norway and Finland know that another win would see them have one firm foot in the knockout stages of the UEFA Women's European Championships.
Indeed, Norway beat the hosts Switzerland 2-1 in their opening game of Group A, while Finland emerged as 1-0 victors over Iceland in the opening match of the tournament. The Norwegians are unbeaten in the previous seven H2Hs against Finland too, so will be confident of getting a positive result.
In the battle of the Nordic nations, Norway also come out on top in terms of the official FIFA Women's World Rankings. Indeed, they are currently ranked in 16th place, while Finland are 10 spots below them in 26th.
In terms of form, Norway have now won two of their previous three games in all competitions, while Finland have won three of their last five. Both teams will feel that they can go on to claim victory, and with a potential knockout place at stake, it could turn out to be an entertaining affair on Sunday evening.
How the bookies view it: Norway favourites to flatten Finland
BoyleSports have Norway as 6/10 odds-on favourites to claim all three points, while a draw is valued at 11/4 odds with the same bookmaker. Finland are very much considered as the outsiders at 4/1 odds.
Recent head-to-head: Finland rescue late draw
A 98th-minute goal from Emma Koivisto rescued a dramatic late draw for Finland in 2024. Guro Reiten had given Norway the lead inside just seven minutes, and also recorded an assist in a 4-0 win for the Norwegians earlier that year.
Players to watch: Reiten the right player to count on?
Reiten has previous history against Finland, and remains one of Norway's biggest attacking threats. She can be backed at 3/1 with BoyleSports to score anytime.
Katariina Kosola scored the winner for Finland against Iceland, and her all-round game made her one of the best players on the pitch.
Predicted lineups
Both teams have no fresh injury concerns or suspensions heading into this one, so could field similar starting XIs to the ones that got them victories in their opening group stage matches.
Norway Women: Fiskerstrand; Bjelde, Mjelde, Hansen, Lund; Risa, Engen; Maanum, Hansen, Reiten, Hegerberg.
Finland Women: Koivunen; Koivisto, Kuikka, Nystrom, Tynnila; Siren, Summanen, Oling, Kosola; Franssi, Salistrom.
Anything else catch the eye?
Norway are overwhelming favourites to claim all three points, so we have to be creative in terms of the markets that we choose. Combining a Norwegian victory with Both Teams To Score (BTTS) could be a way around that.
Norway have only kept one clean sheet in their last five games in all competitions, so Finland should be able to find the scoresheet. That combo is priced at enhanced odds of 10/3 with BoyleSports.
The Norwegians have also led at HT in the previous five meetings, and can be backed at 6/5 with BoyleSports to do the same again. They will want to come out of the traps fast after going behind against Switzerland, before coming back to win.
