Sweden vs Russia Prediction & Betting tips
Decisive game is what awaits us this Tuesday at Friends Arena in Solna, when Sweden receives a visit from Russia, in game corresponding to Group 2 of League B of the UEFA Nations League.
Sweden:
Despite not showing a good performance, those led by Janne Andersson come from getting a good 0-1 victory in their visit to Turkey and in this way they left behind a five-game losing streak without knowing where three victories were defeats, taking in consideration all the competences.
The truth is that now Sweden is in second place in the group with 4 points, and the difference with the leader that is just Russia is three points, so this Tuesday there is no other way out to win and so win the group and therefore the promotion to League A of the UEFA League of Nations; Yes, Andersson will have to do without his number 10 player, Emil Forsberg, so the looks will fall on what Marcus Berg can do.
Russia:
Meanwhile, those led by Stanislav Cherchesov come from making a poor presentation in their last friendly when they visited Germany at the Red Bull Arena, in a game where Die Mannschaft sentenced the commitment in the first half with the goals of Leroy Sane, Niklas Sule and Serge Gnabry.
But in the end, despite this nobody can deny the good work that Cherchesov is doing at the helm of a Russian team that not only comes from reaching the quarterfinals of the 2018 World Cup Russia, but his participation for the time being the UEFA League of Nations has been quite optimistic, as it does not know of defeats in its three games where two of them were victories placing itself in this way in the first place of the group with 7 points, three points more than Sweden so this Tuesday they have to at least maintain the tie and for this they need to continue showing their defensive strength, and that is before receiving three goals by hand of Germany, the Russian team added two games without receiving goals.
Yes, for this game Cherchesov has some important absences such as the striker Artem Dzyuba, in addition to the steering wheels Denis Cheryshev and Aleksandr Golovin, who are injured, so the picture looks somewhat complicated.
