Spain vs Sweden: Predictions and Betting Tips

Spain

Spain’s eleventh European Championship. Of their ten previous appearances, they have won the tournament on three occasions. 

The bad news for the Spaniards is that with less than a week to go before their first match, Busquets and Llorente have tested positive for Covid, and it is possible that more cases within the squad will emerge over the course of the week.

Sweden

Seventh Euro to be contested by the Swedes. In their six previous appearances, their greatest achievement was reaching the semi-finals of Euro 1992, a tournament hosted in Sweden.

In addition to the bad news of Ibrahimovic’s absence for the Euro, Kulusevski is out for at least the first game due to Covid, and it is likely that more players will  test positive during the week.

Key Stats

• Eight consecutive matches without losing for Spain, four wins and four draws
• 13 consecutive home games without losing for Spain
• Six wins and four losses for Sweden in their last ten matches
• Sweden have only conceded one goal in their last five matches

Spain vs Sweden Predictions 

The Spanish play at home, they have a higher collective level than the Swedes, and although they are not the Spain of years ago, they are still a strong team. In addition, the loss of Kulsevski in Sweden is a very important loss, as they will have to manage without what was probably their best player.

Perhaps Spain’s weakest area is their forward line, where they don’t have a single outstanding player and that is why it is a team that nowadays finds it difficult to score many goals against big teams, which is why we think that this match will be won by Spain but not by many goals.
