Greece hosts Sweden in round 6 of the World Cup qualification. The match will be played on Wednesday, September 8th at Olympic Stadium of Athens "Spiros Louis" (Athens)
Greece is in 4th place in the Group B standings (three points after three matches). The Greek national team has not played in a major international tournament since 2014, and its chances of making it to the World Cup in Qatar were initially considered low. The Sky Blues and whites created a sensation at the start of the qualification, having tied against Spain away (1-1). After that, the Greeks lost points at home in the match against Georgia (1-1). On September 5, van 't Schip's footballers again failed to win, sharing points with Kosovo away (1-1). Greece scored a goal in the locker room through the efforts of Anastasios Douvikas and kept the minimum advantage until the 92nd minute, but Vedat Muriqi pushed the ball into the net of Odysseas Vlachodimos and deprived the visitors of victory.

Sweden is in 2nd place in Group B with nine points after three rounds. The Blue-Yellows have not lost points in the World Cup qualification yet. The Scandinavians beat Georgia at home (1-0) and Kosovo away (0-3) in March, and on September 2, they defeated the main favorite of the group, the Spaniards (2-1), in Stockholm. Last Sunday, the Swedish national team held a friendly home match against football players from Uzbekistan (2-1). The Blue-Yellows opened the scoring in the 6th minute due to Abdulla Abdullaev's own goal, and after almost half an hour Isaak Telin doubled the lead of the Scandinavians. In the 2nd half, the Uzbeks reduced the gap thanks to a goal by Eldor Shomurodov.
The Swedes approach the upcoming game with one hundred percent result in the group. They have a chance to extend the winning streak in this qualification thanks to more experience and teamwork. On the other hand, trips to Greece always threaten to lose points. The Greeks have not lost in nine home matches in a row since June 2019. Then they lost to Armenia in the Euro 2020 qualifying match (2-3). The match in Athens will not be rich in goals. The home team has never conceded more than one goal per game in the current qualification, and the Swedes conceded only one goal from Spain in three starting rounds. With a high probability, both teams will play defensively again, and we will see a minimum number of goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
