Sweden - statistics & current form

Sweden has big plans in qualifying for the World Cup and is hoping for a good day against the favorites from Spain.

At the European Championships in the summer, coach Janne Andersson's team showed good approaches, but it ended in the round of 16 against Ukraine. This game ended a series of eight consecutive unbeaten games. Sweden, for example, managed to wrest a draw from their current opponents Spain at the EM.

Despite everything, the bookmakers see the Swedes only in the role of outsiders, as the odds show very clearly before the game Sweden vs. Spain. A home win, for example, could bring in more than four times the stake. But the situation for Sweden is not hopeless.

Sweden: will the surprise against Spain succeed again?

On a good day, Sweden’s defense can work very well. The team played six times in 2021, which is a strong record. The start of the World Cup qualification went very well with two wins against Georgia and Kosovo. But Spain is of a different caliber.

Spain - statistics & current form

Spain at the European Championships in summer is easy to explain. This team had an almost absurd amount of ball possession and numerous chances, but all too often left them lying miserably. Luis Enrique, who relies on his very own, new mix in the squad, wants to continue the style of play, but be callous.

If that succeeds, Spain will be one of the very hot candidates for the title at the next big tournaments. Because the upheaval in the squad has succeeded. Before the game Sweden against Spain, the odds of the best bookmakers definitely show that the Iberians can be optimistic for this game.

And the Swedes are definitely the strongest opponents in this group. An away win would ensure that Spain can set the course for qualification early on. From the first three games Spain got seven points, only against Greece the Iberians failed.

Spain is hoping for more efficiency

When looking at the statistics of the Spanish team, it is noticeable that the great dominance is also associated with a certain risk. In the last nine competitive games Spain could only play to zero twice, in seven of the last eight games both teams met. That is also one of the reasons why our tip before the game between Sweden and Spain is that both teams score a goal.

Spain often fail to play their great dominance in such a way that the team can slow down after 60 minutes and manage the game to the end. That's a shortcoming, the largely young team still has to learn.

Nevertheless, with players like Soler, Ferran, Morata, Sarabia, Koke or Llorente, there is enough quality to make the role of favorites recognizable on the pitch and to win the complicated game in Sweden.

Expected formation of Spain:

Unai Simon - Azpilicueta, Laporte, Eric Garcia, Gaya - Busquets, Koke, Soler - Llorente, Ferran Torres, Morata

Betting base forecast & Sweden Sweden - Spain Spain tip

Sweden can be a very unpleasant opponent, especially for favorites. The Scandinavians have lost just one of their last eight games, drawing a draw against Spain in the group stage of the European Championship. Individually, however, the guest from Spain is ahead.
