Sweden vs Spain Predictions
The Swedes had a disappointing end to their Euros campaign, losing against an opponent that they were expected to be beat and while their team were looking strong. Spain, in contrast, performed well and came within touching distance of the final. Even if Spain’s squad is not what it once was, we still see them as tough opponents and consider them the favourites to win this match.
