THE PREDICTION

Sweden will need to be aware of Portugal’s attacking abilities which were on display against Netherlands on Wednesday. This Portuguese unit have every right to be confident when going forward against the Swedes, who are yet to keep a clean sheet across the competition. However, this is a classy Swedish outfit, well drilled and any result in this one other than victory for Peter Gerhardsson’s side would be considered a surprise.
