Sweden vs Slovakia Betting Odds

Truth be told, if Sweden or Slovakia have ambitions of qualifying from Group E of Euro 2021, then they will need to win this game – the Sweden vs Slovakia betting odds, currently favouring Sweden at 1.80, suggest it’s a contest that is almost too close to call.

The reason why this game is so vital is that other teams in Group E are Spain and Poland. At the beginning of the tournament these two teams were considered to be the strongest outfits in the bracket. And despite Poland's defeat in match with Slovakia and weaker odds for qualifying, three points here for the Swedes or the Slovaks are still vital!

Getting them might be a different matter altogether. Sweden, who qualified for Euro 2021 with relative ease, have been in poor form since the start of the 2020/21 campaign and lost six of their last eight games in all competitions.

The truth is that they have been outclassed by the likes of Portugal, France and Croatia, so a step down in grade here to take on Slovakia will be welcome.

But let’s not completely write off the underdogs in our Sweden vs Slovakia betting picks. They beat both the Republic of Northern Ireland in the play-off system, and beat Hungary home and away in qualifying. Moreover the result 0-0 in their match with Spain is also not bad, considering Spain to be the favourite in the betting odds for this match. Okay, so that’s hardly world-beating form, but it shows that they are capable.

Of course, the real question for our Sweden vs Slovakia preview is whether the Swedes, who will dominate the game, have the class to finish off their chances and defeat Slovakia in this must-win game.

And that is what we aim to find out now….

1. Sweden vs Slovakia Betting Odds

They have the better players and the higher pedigree, so the Swedes were always likely to be named favourites in the Slovakia vs Sweden betting odds.

After winning with Poland, the bookmakers give Slovakia bigger chances of qualifying from Group E in their Euro 2021 betting odds, but Sweden are are also high in the hierarchy so that’s really hard to choose the strong favourite in this match. Reading other articles about Euro predictions involving these two teams, such as the one about Slovakia vs Spain betting odds and predictions or the one about Sweden vs Poland predictions and tips may give you the bigger picture and make it easier for you to choose the team you want to back.

2. Slovakia vs Sweden Preview

Throughout the years, Sweden have had some tremendously gifted footballers but it has never quite come together for them on the major stage.

And we have to conclude that this present squad isn’t going to improve things on that front….

The news that Zlatan Ibrahimovic has come out of retirement is very good for Sweden, who will benefit from his physical presence, his goals and his larger-than-life personality.

But otherwise this is not a vintage Sweden team. The spine is okay – Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof, RB Leipzig midfielder Emil Forsberg and frontman Zlatan are all excellent players, but the Swedish set-up is just lacking in quality in key areas.

Indeed, the only reason they qualified so comfortably was that they held Scandinavian rivals Norway to two draws in qualifying – and then outperformed them in games against the group’s weaker teams.

There is an opportunity for Slovakia then, although the jury is out on their qualities too. In their last seven games, they have failed to score on four occasions – however, they defeated Poland 2-1, despite the fact that their opponents were the favourites in that match – food for thought in our Sweden vs Slovakia predictions.

So, here we have two not very strong teams trying desperately to win a game in the only means they know how – defending in numbers and trying to find the net from breakaways or set pieces. Our Euro 2020 betting tips have to reflect that fact….
