Latvia vs Sweden prediction

Latvia and Sweden have been among the top performers in the group stage so far and this should be an entertaining contest between two really good teams in Stockholm. Sweden boasts a 100% record so far with three wins from three, whilst Latvia have won two of three, bouncing back from their loss at the hands of Canada to beat Slovenia.

The big difference between these two nations though can be found in defence. Whilst Latvia have conceded ten points already, Sweden have allowed just three points past them in comparison. They’ll have seen what Canada did to the Latvians are will be confidence of being afforded success themselves. Therefore, back a red-hot Sweden to triumph here at home.
