In the XXI century, it is impossible to imagine the continental championship without the participation of the Swedish team, which took part in all the last six European Championships. Not always the Yellow-Blue managed to get out of the group, but the very fact of stable access to such a major international tournament - it's already a success. But the situation with the World Cup is not so cloudless, as Janne Andersson's charges missed the FIFA World Cup-2022 in Qatar, losing to the Poles 0:2 in the qualifying games. After that, the Swedes also failed in the UEFA Nations League, when in a quartet with Serbs, Norwegians, and Slovenes, they managed to take last place, leaving them in the third strongest division.
Belgium
They have not won anything besides bronze medals at the 2018 FIFA World Cup, and the new emerging stars are already starting to squeeze out the previous year's leaders. Domenico Tedesco has been entrusted with the process of personnel restructuring, but it will not be easy because we need the results here and now, but the new coaching staff needs time. The failure at the 2022 World Cup, where the Red Devils didn't even make it out of the group. Fortunately, the Belgians are not in the most challenging group for Euro 2024 qualifying, where they are the clear favorites and can afford a slip or two.
Expert Betting Tips
The teams of Sweden and Belgium approach the encounter with each other, obviously not in the best mood. This is particularly true for the Bianconeri, who missed the World Cup in Qatar, to begin with, and then crashed in the UEFA Nations League, losing four of their last five games. At least the Red Devils still have a mighty squad by European standards, and they still played in the World Cup, although they did not make it out of the group, and the change of the head coach should perk them up. Moreover, the Swedes have lost all three personal meetings in the XXI century, so now we are forced to bet on the victory of the Belgian national team.
The Swedish team has always been pragmatic, but after the passing of the World Cup-2022, the Yellow and Blue team began to play much more cheerfully. In the last seven meetings with their participation, there were scored a total of 22 goals (3.14 average per game), and in five cases, the bookmaker's total over has been broken (71%). The Belgian team, on the other hand, specializes in open and productive football, so we have every reason to expect a spectacular and emotional confrontation. On this basis, the best option for the prediction seems to be a total over 2.5, and separately it is worth betting on the goal of the main loser of the World Cup-2022, Romelu Lukaku.
