Sweden vs Belgium Predictions


Both sides have a lot of scoring potential with Ibrahimovic and Lukaku on the pitch. Sweden rarely loses games at home, so I feel BTTS and draw are the best options.

  • Sweden have scored in 9 of their last 10 matches
  • Sweden are undefeated in 16 of their last 19 home matches
  • Belgium have scored in 30 of their last 33 matches
  • Belgium are undefeated in 9 of their last 12 away matches

Head to Head


Belgium have a 5-2 advantage against Sweden with one draw in 8 matches.

The most recent head to head encounter was in EURO 2016 in France where Belgium won 1-0.

Sweden Form


According to the latest odds, Sweden are predicted to battle Austria for 2nd place in Group F.

Sweden have qualified for the European Championship five times in the past, playing in the most recent EURO 2020 where they reached the playoffs.

Janne Andersson’s side has been in great shape recently, entering this match with four straight wins.

The Crowns defeated Mexico (2-1), Algeria (2-0), Finland (2-0), and Iceland (2-1).

Sweden Squad & Team News


Goalkeepers: Robin Olsen, Viktor Johansson, Kristoffer Nordfeldt
Defenders: Linus Wahlqvist, Victor Lindelöf, Isak Hien, Gabriel Gudmundsson, Ludwig Augustinsson, Hjalmar Ekdal, Carl Starfelt, Edvin Kurtulus
Midfielders: Viktor Claesson, Albin Ekdal, Emil Forsberg, Jesper Karlsson, Jesper Karlström, Mattias Svanberg, Kristoffer Olsson, Samuel Gustafson, Anthony Elanga
Forwards: Alexander Isak. Zlatan Ibrahimović, Viktor Gyökeres, Dejan Kulusevski, Robin Quaison

After being off the list for 12 months, 41-years old Zlatan Ibrahimović is recalled for the next two games. He scored 62 goals in 121 appearances.

Belgium Form


After failing to reach the Round of 16 in the World Cup 2022, Belgium decided to part ways with Roberto Martinez and appointed Domenico Tedesco as the new coach.

The Red Devils opened the WC campaign with a 1-0 win against Canada, followed by a 0-2 loss to Morocco and a goalless draw versus Croatia.

Belgium qualified for the European Championship six times so far, participating in the most recent one in 2020 where they reached the quarter-finals.

Last year’s results in the UEFA Nations League were solid, ending as 2nd in League A/Group 4 behind the Netherlands with 10 points, ahead of Poland and Wales.

Belgium Squad & Team News


Goalkeepers: Thibaut Courtois, Matz Sels, Koen Casteels, Thomas Kaminski
Defenders: Sebastiaan Bornauw, Arthur Theate, Zeno Debast, Jan Vertonghen, Thomas Meunier, Timothy Castagne, Wout Faes
Midfielders: Amadou Onana, Kevin De Bruyne, Orel Mangala, Yannick Carrasco, Dennis Praet, Alexis Saelemaekers, Charles De Ketelaere, Roméo Lavia
Forwards: Romelu Lukaku (vice-captain), Leandro Trossard, Dodi Lukebakio, Loïs Openda, Johan Bakayoko

PSV's Johan Bakayoko could make his debut appearance, as well as Roméo Lavia and Thomas Kaminski.

Simon Mignonet, Tobb Alderweireld and Eden Hazard retired from the national team after the World Cup 2022.

Romelu Lukaku is topping the goalscoring charts with 68 goals in 104 appearances.

Verdict

Recent appearances in the World Cup are a sign of Belgium’s Golden Generation's declining. I will back The Red Devils to share the spoils against Sweden on Friday.
