Sweden take on the visitors Norway in the round 2 match of League B in UEFA Nations League. The match will be played on Sunday, June 5th at Friends Arena (Solna).
Sweden may gradually prepare for a new cycle
“Tre Krunur” under Jann Andersen and showed a decent football, and, most importantly, good results. The peak result for the Scandinavians was the quarter-final of the previous World Cup - it was better only in the USA in 1994, with "bronze" medals. But then there was a certain decline. Last summer, they confidently passed the group stage at the Euro, but already in the 1/8 finals, the Swedes were knocked out in extra time by Ukraine. In the selection, it still did not work out to take 1st place from Spain. And it became fatal: in the playoffs, in March, "tre krunur" nevertheless passed in stoppage time of the Czech Republic. But then there was a away match against fresh Poland, and the latter won 2-0 at home. Well, now you need to prepare for new cycles. And without Ibrahimovic, who did not arrive in June. Without him, the summer began with a confident 2-0 victory over Slovenia.

Norway is not adding as fast as they would like. "Lions" were well quoted at the end of the last century. It was then that they managed to play twice in a row at the World Championships, and once they even got out of a difficult group. In 2000, there was also a debut at the Euro ... And then for a long time the Norwegians were considered as average team in European football. And only recently it was possible to raise a new generation, and already quite stellar - what is only Erling Haaland worth. But so far, all that has been achieved is climbing up in the League of Nations from Division C, a so-so achievement. Everything could have changed before the World Cup selection. There Stole Solbakken's wards looked good, scored decent 18 points in 10 matches... But in the end they finished below not only Holland, but also Turkey. Now everything has to start over. The start, of course, was a success: 1-0 in Belgrade with Serbia.
Four times in a row, a draw was recorded between the neighbors. Including in the qualifying matches in 2019: 3-3 in Norway, 1-1 in Sweden. Both teams, with bright attacking players in the lineup, are pragmatic. So don't wait for the spectacular match, bet on "less than 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
