Sweden vs Spain Prediction & Betting tips
In Group F of the European Championship qualification, the squatter between Sweden and Spain is on Tuesday at the Friends Arena in Solna. The visitors only need a draw to secure their starting ticket for next year’s European Championship, while the home country desperately needs the points to keep the competition at bay.
Sweden:
For Sweden there is a lot at stake for the home crowd on Tuesday evening. With only three group games to go, the Scandinavians are on European Championship with fourteen points and second place in group F, but they feel the hot breath of Romania (thirteen points) and Norway (ten points) in the neck. In the event of a loss of points against the Spaniards, the men of coach Janne Andersson can wet their chest.
Sweden can in any case work towards the squatter against Spain with confidence, because last weekend the blue yellows easily won 0-4 at low-flyer Malta. The visitors didn’t have to go all the way for a moment, and Andersson could even afford to give key players like Victor Lindelöf and Alexander Isak a rest. However, they will return to the Swedish base on Tuesday evening.
Spain:
Spain was close to final European Championship qualification in and against Norway last Saturday, but a late penalty kick for the home country canceled Saul Niguez’s opening goal: 1-1. It meant the first point loss for the Spaniards, who had won their previous six European Championship qualifiers each.
The late tie in Norway was of course a damper, but there is of course no dirt left for coach Roberto Moreno. A point against Sweden is enough for European Championship qualification, so the remaining three group matches are for La Roja basically refined exhibition games. In that respect Sweden-out promises to be an interesting game, as the visitors will have to do without Sergio Ramos. With his 168th (!) International match, he relieved Iker Casillas as a Spanish international record last weekend, but he also received his third yellow card of this European Championship qualifying series. Despite his suspension, Ramos did travel to Sweden. Spain can use its moral support well, because the red shirts managed to keep the zero on foreign soil in only one of their last seven international matches.
