Reason for Sweden vs Greece Predictions
Sweden has so far shown excellent results in the domestic qualifiers for the World Cup. This is a continuation of the record that the team enjoyed during the qualifications for the 2018 World Cup. Dominating against Georgia 1-0 and Kosovo 0-3 last March, the Scandinavians then managed to beat Spain 2-1 and then Uzbekistan 2-1 Kosovo 3-0. In recent months, leaders Lustig, Granqvist, Larsson and Berg, and less used Jansson and Svensson have retired abroad. In addition, the legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic, originally invited to this gathering, has yet to retire. He and Berg and the less used Jansson and Svensson withdrew abroad. By the way, great hopes are placed in Kulusevski (Juventus) and Isak (Real Sociedad) as goalkeeper Olsen (Roma), defender Lindelof (Manchester United). Aleksandar Milosevic was called to replace the injured Isak Kiz Telin, while Mattias Johansson is also injured and will be replaced by Daniel Sundgren. Mattias Svanberg plays great and does not allow the opponent to play in the middle of the field. Aleksandar Isak is an experienced striker who plays for Real Sociedad, and he is expected to score as many goals as possible and bring joy to his nation.
Greece will be looking to build upon that excellent win over Georgia. Bakakis, Zeca, Fortounis, Kourbelis, and Giakoumakis are either injured or haven’t been selected for the latest round of qualifiers. Greece has regularly broken through opposing defenses in their most recent fixtures, scoring seven goals in their previous six matches. Having said that, Greece has had its own issues at the back, also conceding in 5 of those same matches. Still, we must now wait to see whether the trend shall continue in this next game or not. The previous league match featuring the two was WC Qualifiers – Europe matchday 6 on 08/09/2021 when Greece celebrated a 2:1 victory. Anastasios Douvikas enjoys the field, and when he receives the ball and heads towards the goal, the opponent has problems. Manolis Siopis plays excellently and does not allow the opponent to play in the middle of the field.
Conclusion
Sweden is the favorite in this match, and they should book an important victory in front of the home crowd.
The prediction for this match is over 2.5 goals. We hope that football fans will enjoy this match.
