Sweden Betting Preview
Sweden comes into this game off a victory in the last game. Sweden faced off against Iceland, and the offense scored two goals on the way to the victory. For most of the game, they really struggled, but they scored two goals after the 84th minute to secure the victory. On January 9th Sweden faced off against Finland and they secured the 2-0 victory. Zlatan Ibrahimović is back with the squad, and although he isn’t guaranteed to start, he should play some sort of role in this game. Victor Lindelof, Emil Forsberg, and Alexander Isak are all expected to get the start in this game.
Belgium Betting Preview
It was a disappointing showing in the World Cup for Belgium. After winning the first game of the World Cup, Belgium really struggled. On December 1st against Croatia, the offense couldn’t get anything going, and they played to a 0-0 draw. There has been a change at manager, but Belgium’s squad is expected to be close to what played in the World Cup. Thibaut Courtois, Jan Vertonghen, Kevin De Bruyne, and Romelu Lukaku are all expected to play a role in this game. In this game, Belgium is going to need to find a way to get the offense going, and put the pressure on the Swedish defense.
Shane’s Free Pick
The Belgium offense struggled to score in the World Cup, and it’s going to be no different here. In the last game they scored zero goals and quality scoring chances is going to be an issue again here. Their defense is going to step up, though, and that is going to lead to this game staying under the total. Back the under to cash.
