Joe is confident Cold Palmer won't freeze in Helsinki.

Joe Cole - Finland v England Bet Builder

Paddy’s ambassador Joe Cole is duty for the next round of international action this month as England face a trip to Finland.

Lee Carsley tasted defeat as Three Lions boss for the first time in midweek as Greece sealed a dramatic late victory at Wembley. Hosts Finland were also undone in the final seconds, against the Republic of Ireland, as Robbie Brady sent the Boys in Green back to Dublin with a win.

A reaction will be needed from both teams as Joe dives in on his Finland v England betting tips on Sunday in the Nations League.

I feel Lee Carsley will look to play a similar style to what he did against Greece at Wembley. That’s his brand, it’s what he’s been doing with the U21’s, and that’s how he does it.

That should be more than enough for England to go and win this game, I expect a really strong performance from England, on the back of losing to Greece.

Away from home in international football is always difficult, but Finland are not coming into a generation of good young players as Iceland did a few years ago.

When I played, Finland were the best of the Nordic countries with the likes of Jari Litmanen and Sami Hyypia.

I’m going with England (-2) in this game. There will be a lot said to the back four and the midfield over the goals conceded against Greece, and I think they will plug the gaps better, and not concede here.

Cole Palmer was impressive against Greece, probing with his passes, and he had a chance which he missed, with a free kick that went just over the bar.

That was unlike him and I fancy him to keep his starting place and I’m backing him to score as well.
