THE PREDICTION

Both these sides last competed back in November, but each will need to hit the ground running in this must-win European qualifier. Sweden however, were beaten in both of their most recent World Cup qualification games, losing away to both Georgia and Spain. Whilst home advantage will be in Sweden’s favour this time round, Czech Republic have every right to be confident when considering they are unbeaten in their last five matches (including friendlies) and have not conceded a goal since last October against Wales. Either way, a cagey affair is in prospect with the ramifications of defeat so huge as both Sweden and Czech Republic look to prioritise defensive stability and under 2.5 goals scored across 90 minutes is well worth backing, regardless of who qualifies.
