Sweden take on the visitors Netherland in the round match of the World Cup 2018 qualification. The match will be played at Friends Arena on Tuesday, September 6th.
Sweden qualifying for the main stage of Euro-2016 but couldn’t show their best football in France, taking only one point and scoring one goal (which was actually an own goal scored by Ireland) in three match of the group stage. Such results can be considered as failure. The team lost their leader Zlatan, who decided to end international career. There is no player in current team who can be considered as a top footballer and Sweden might not be competitive in this campaign.

While Sweden didn’t impress at the main stage, the Netherland failed to qualify for the tournament in France. Oranje still have one of the most skilled squad in the world but aging stars and promising talents couldn’t be competitive in the qualification to Euro-2016. The most recent friendly of Danny Blind’s team was also a quite disappointment as the Netherlands lost to another struggling side Greece, 1-2.
The opponents met 11 times since 1908. Sweden won two matches, Netherlands were stronger three times and six matches ended with draws. Neither of the teams show solid football but Sweden would have troubles adjusting to life after Zlatan while Oranje have enough skilled footballers who can give the team positive result.
Prediction for the match: Netherlands to win with +0.0 Asian handicap.
