Spain vs Sweden Prediction and Betting Tips

After Italy, Belgium, and England, another favorite for the final victory comes into play: Spain opposed to Sweden.

Spain Betting Facts

Very disappointing during Euro 2016 by being out in the 1/8 finals by Italy, Spain did not do better at the World Cup two years later. Announced as one of the favorites for the title, the Roja was eliminated at the same stage of the competition on penalties by Russia, the host country. The Iberians then finished at the top of their qualifying group for the 2020 European Championship ahead of Sweden, Norway, Romania, the Faroe Islands, and Malta.

For this Euro, Spain will be deprived of its nugget Ansu Fati, seriously injured at the start of the season, but also of its captain Sergio Ramos, often in the infirmary in recent months and deemed physically unprepared for this Euro. The others Madrilenians Nacho, Vazquez and Carvajal are not there either. In addition, the very experienced Busquets has tested positive for Covid and he will have to be in isolation for 10 days. He will therefore not be present to play this match, unlike defender D. Llorente, who tested positive at first but was negative at the end. La Roja still relies on a few experienced players, starting with Barcelona's Alba and the formidable Koke (Atletico), Thiago Alcantara (Liverpool), or Morata (Juventus).

Sweden Betting Facts

For its part, Sweden is used to major international events. Eliminated in the 1st round of Euro 2016, it raised its level in 2018 for the World Cup. The Blagults were taken out at the gates of the last four World Cups by England. The Swedes also showed a beautiful face during the Euro 2020 qualifiers by ranking 2nd in their group. By losing only once in 10 games, Janne Andersson's players have proven that they can worry the biggest nations, as their draw against Spain in October (1-1) attests. It was harder for them in the League of Nations. Without solutions against the big names that are France and Portugal, Sweden, the last in its group, was relegated to League B. In March, however, it got back to the fore by winning against Georgia (1-0) and Kosovo (0-3) for their debut in the qualifiers, then against Estonia (1-0). To prepare for this competition, the Swedes were able to gain confidence by winning against Finland (2-0) and Armenia (3-1) last weekend.

The announcement of the withdrawal of Zlatan Ibrahimovic was big news. Just back in the selection after a big absence due to bad relations with Coach Janne Anderson, the striker injured his knee with Milan and must miss this European Championship.
