Sweden takes on the visitors Belarus at “Friends Arena” in the round five of the Europe’s Qualifiers Group stage for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia. The game will be played in Solna on Saturday, March 25.
Sweden team gets used to play without Ibrahimovic in its squad and so far it is doing well. After four matchdays of the Qualifiers Group stage “Tre Kronor” gained seven points with 6:3 goal difference and shares second-third places with Dutch team in group A. Scandinavians recorded victories in matches they were supposed to win i.e. vs. Luxembourg 1:0 and Bulgaria 3:0, 1:1 draw vs. Netherlands and 1:2 defeat vs. French. Obviously, Sweden’s play in offense is not so diverse and colourful now, still the Scandinavians demonstrate quite solid performances in defense.

Belarus team had started the qualification with the sensational 0:0 draw vs. France, goes on with disappointing defeats against Netherlands 1:4, Bulgaria 0:1 and 1:1 draw vs. Luxembourg. In the last two matches the team could and should have taken on at least four points but it didn’t manage to do it. This resulted in gaining only two points after four matchdays and the fifth place in the group and it is obvious now that currently another Qualifiers Group stage is failed.
Swedes know how to play against Belarus team as they have won all three matches in their head-to-head history with 5:0, 2:1 and 1:0. I believe the Scandinavians will defeat the Slavs again this time as the Slavs do not show solid football on the road in this Qualifiers Group stage.
Prediction for the match: Sweden to win.
