Spain faces Sweden in round 1 of the Euro group stage. The match will be played on Monday, June 14th at Estadio de La Cartuja (Sevilla)
Spain is a formidable force by the standards of European football. The team won the European Championship three times (the same number of titles for the Germans). At the same time, the Red Fury is the only national team that managed to defend the title. And it is among the favorites of the upcoming tournament. The victory of Spain is estimated at 8.70. The team performs successfully in all types of competitions. Defeat is a rarity for Luis Enrique's charges. But now there is a big problem. Before the start of Euro 2020, two players contracted the coronavirus, namely, Sergio Busquets and Diego Llorente. The whole team went into quarantine, so the youth squad took the field in a friendly match against Lithuania, which didn’t prevent it from gaining a crushing victory (4-0). The coaching staff called up 11 new players. Now managers have to make a decision: to make changes to the roster for the European Championship or to hope that Busquets and Llorente will recover quickly and there will be no more positive tests. The choice is difficult.

The Swedish national team took second place in the qualification for this European Championship. And the Yellow-Blues lagged behind the aforementioned Spaniards. Yes, now Sweden is on a streak of five victories in a row (six points scored in the World Cup qualifiers and three wins in friendly matches), but two other problems have appeared. Firstly, Zlatan Ibrahimovic will not play at Euro 2020 due to injury, and we know that this striker seriously improves the attacking potential of his team. Secondly, two players also fell before the start of the tournament. Dejan Kulusevski and Mattias Svanberg were quarantined because they caught the coronavirus.
Sweden with Ibrahimovic and without him are two different teams. Kulusevski also fell ill. The Spaniards can easily find a replacement for any footballer by calling up another top player, but the Swedes do not have such a wide selection of performers. The Red Fury is the favorite not only of the upcoming confrontation but of the entire Euro 2020. Bookmakers have begun to increase the coefficients for the victory of Spain, as two coronavirus infections have already been identified. Therefore, there is a good opportunity to bet on the Red Fury to win, as it will play its first match in Seville, at Estadio de la Cartuja. We think the hosts will manage to show a confident start to the current tournament.
Prediction for the match: Spain to win with -1.0 handicap
