Sweden take on the visitors Algeria in a friendly international match. The match will be played on Saturday, November 19th.
Sweden under the current coach, Jan Andersen, had been pleasantly surprising for quite a long time. She managed to beat Italy itself in the playoffs 5 years ago. This allowed Italy to make it to the World Cup, and in 2018, the Scandinavians were able to produce the best result there in almost 3 decades. "Tre kronur" managed to reach the quarterfinals! They were waiting for something similar in the summer of last year, at the Euro. At the tournament, the Swedes were able to win the group, ahead of even Spain in the quartet... But then they faced Ukraine in the 1/8 finals, which they unexpectedly lost in extra time. Then there were new failures: they failed to qualify for the World Championship directly, Janne Andersen's wards were able to pass the Czech Republic in the 1st round of the playoffs, in extra time, but then they themselves lost to the Poles away from home. Rather, the result of the Nations League was painful, where it was possible to get only 4 points - because of this, the team was relegated to division C! We want to make amends in front of the fans, and in this "window" they managed to start with a 2-1 victory over Mexico in Girona.

Algeria national team is quite well quoted at the continental level. In 2010 and 2014, the "bald deserts" made their way to the world championship. Moreover, in Brazil, he won a key match against the Russians and even made it to the playoffs. It was not possible to repeat that success, but in 2019 it was Riyad Mahrez and company who were able to win the Cup of African Nations. But the current times are frankly not good for the national team. First there was a failure at the CAN, where the current title holder was limited to a goalless draw with Sierra Leone with defeats by Equatorial Guinea and Ivory Coast. And then, after winning the first away match against Cameroon 1-0, then they lost to the "indomitable lions" in the second, decisive match 1-2, which was fatal for the Algerians. They conceded according to the away goal rule, and now they are not preparing for the World Cup, but are simply holding a training camp with the appropriate set of players and motivation. So there was a 1-1 draw with Mali for a couple of days.
This is the first head-to-head confrontation between a representative of Scandinavia and Arab Africa. Bookmakers believe that Algeria will not be able to really show themselves in Stockholm. Local players from "Tre krunur" are simply more accustomed to such conditions - we recommend betting on the victory of the Swedes.
Prediction for the match: Sweden to win.
