Bookmaker Ratings prediction one – Both to score – 1.90.
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two – Total Goals over 2.5 – 2.25.
Despite the defeat against Norway, Sweden enjoyed most of the ball possession with 62%, while they had 13 goal attempts. We expect the hosts will be keen to keep the ball and control the match.
On the other side, Serbia come into this game after a massive win against Slovenia. However, it should be noted that they have won back-to-back games just once in the Nations League history.
Considering recent results and current form, both sides are evenly matched, we will back “Both to score” for this matchup.
Both sides are offensively good. With players like Alexander Isak, Emil Forsberg, Alexandr Mitrovic, and Dusan Tadic, there is a high probability of seeing more than 2.5 goals in this matchup.
A 2-1 defeat to Norway in the UEFA Nations League ended Sweden’s ten-match unbeaten home streak. Moreover, Janne Andersson’s side landed their first home reverse since September 2020.
After two rounds, Sweden have collected four points, the same as second-placed Serbia, while they are separating only by goal difference.
