THE PREDICTION
Sweden and Spain clash in this Group B match less than three months after the two sides went toe-to-toe at in the group stage of EURO 2020 which saw them play out a 0-0 draw. Sweden have won both of their World Cup qualification games so far, although Spain sit top of the group with seven points having played a game more. Luis Enrique’s side as you would expect will dominate possession and dictate the tempo of this contest, but will to show a strong cutting edge in front of goal to come away with the three points. Sweden however, are not to be underestimated and as shown at EURO 2020 are more than capable of frustrating Spain especially with home advantage in their favour. With that in mind consider under 2.5 goals scored here, as was the case when the two countries last met.
