Will a smaller size band 42mm fit on a 44mm case?

I just bought the latest Apple Watch out The Series 6. The silver aluminum case is 44mm

will a stainless steel link band that’s only 42mm fit on it?

from what I’ve gathered it’s the other way around a 44mm band will fit on a 42mm case

is that correct?

Id really like to get that stainless steel 42mm band, if I do will it fit on my 44mm aluminum case?
