Teemu Pukki has enjoyed another brilliant season in the Sky Bet Championship and will be looking to fire Finland out of Group B in their first appearance at a major tournament.


Teemu Pukki

Teemu Pukki was one of the best players in this season's Sky Bet Championship, helping to fire Norwich back into the Premier League at the first time of asking. He's now looking to spearhead his nation at their first ever major tournament, as Finland head into the Euros as rank 200/1 outsiders.

Pukki ended the season with 26 goals in 41 appearances for the Canaries, as well as laying on a further four for his teammates, and he will be wanting to carry his good form into Euro 2020.

What is expected goals (xG)?

  • Expected goals (xG) is a metric that measures the quality of any given scoring opportunity
  • Expected assists (xA) measures the likelihood that a given pass will become a goal assist

The Norwich forward played a pivotal part in Finland qualifying for Euro 2020, scoring 10 of their 16 goals, and he is now just three away from becoming Finland’s all-time record scorer, having already netted 30 times in 90 appearances for his national side.

Finland face a tough task in getting out of Group B, but with Pukki leading the line, you never know.
