A draw is potentially enough for Belgium to qualify in second place, which means they can perhaps count themselves slightly lucky after they got off to a dismal start. Sweden, on the other hand, need to win to stand any chance of making it through to the final 16. They will sincerely be hoping this is something they can manage, even more so because this will be the last game in a Sweden shirt for the talismanic captain Zlatan Ibrahimovic. They have been the worst team so far, and Ibra must, just must, do something on his farewell, because they’re playing also for dignity at this point. Motivation is not enough though, but Sweden just can’t die like this. Belgium will find the spaces they look for: they haven’t looked great, but the 3-0 win against Ireland gave them confidence, and they are in the situation where they can perform with much less pressure.
Sweden have to attack and with Zlatan in their ranks a goal is always possible, while Belgium offer a big attacking threat themselves and shouldn’t be without chances here. Both teams to score at EVS looks a good bet.
