Spain will host Sweden for the first round in the European Championship at the San Mames in Bilbao on 15th June 2021 at 00:30 IST. The odds are clearly favoring the Spanish side to win the match quite comfortably.

Teams Status

Spain

The sixth ranked team in the FIFA world rankings are coming off an exceptional European Championship qualification. Spain were unbeaten in the group as they bagged 26 points from the ten matches that they played including eight wins and two draws. They finished five points clear on the top in the group consisting of Sweden, Norway, Romania, Faroe Island and Malta. They had the best home record in the group as they won all five matches on home turf and just conceded one goal after netting 21 times at home. In the ten matches, they scored as many as 31 goals and conceded just five goals including five clean sheets. The presence of their skipper will be missed as Sergio Ramos is out of the tour with an injury. He along with Alvaro Morata and Rodrigo led the goal scoring list for Spain with four goals each in the qualifiers. With four assists to his name, Thiago led the assists list. The bulk of the responsibilities will be on the shoulders of Gerard Moreno, Alvaro Morata, Sergio Busquets, Koke and Jordi Alba in the absence of some big names.

Sweden

Sweden were a part of the same group as Spain in the qualifiers as well. The 18th ranked team in the FIFA rankings finished at the second position of the qualifier group with 21 points from ten matches. They won six matches, drew three and lost just one match, which was against the eventual group leaders Spain. They had the second best record on the road as they won three, drew one and lost just one match. In the ten matches that they played in the qualifiers, they scored as many as 23 goals and conceded nine goals. The Mainz midfielder Robin Quaison led the goal scoring list for Sweden in the qualifiers with five goals. Marcus Berg and Sebastian Larsson led the assists list with two assists to their names. The superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic couldn’t make it to the squad, so Robin Quaison, Marcus Berg, Emil Forsberg, Victor Lindelof and Sebastian Larsson should step up in their game so as to make an impact here.

Tipster’s Angle

Despite a few players missing for Spain, they are in exceptional form and could easily edge past this Swedish opposition. Apart from that, this could be a high scoring match as these two teams have produced over the years.

Tip: Spain To Win @ 1.48

In the last five head to head matches, Spain won three matches, while Sweden won just one match and the other match ended in a draw. Also, Spain are on a four match unbeaten streak against Sweden. Even Spain are on a seven match unbeaten streak in all competitions. In the last ten matches that Spain has played, they have won four matches, drew five and lost just one match. Sweden on the other hand are in some decent touch, they have lost as many as four matches in their last ten matches. Sweden’s away form is quite poor as they have won just one match in their last five away matches. So, it is very likely that Spain could come out on top at 1.48 odds available at the Dafabet sportsbook.

Tip: Total Goals Over 2.5 @ 2.00

These two teams were in the same group as the qualifiers and a total of five goals were scored in the two matches that they played at an average of 2.5 goals per match. Also, over 2.5 goals were scored in three of the last five head to head matches played across competitions. In the last five matches that Spain has played across competitions, over 2.5 goals were scored in three of those matches as well. Sweden on the other hand had six of their last ten matches where over 2.5 goals were scored. Apart from that, over 2.5 goals were scored in two of the last four home matches that Spain has played. And four of the last five away matches that Sweden played, had over 2.5 goals. So it is evident that this could be a high scoring game. And 2.00 odds are available for the same at the Betway sportsbook.

Conclusion

By considering the remaining two teams in this group, we can clearly say that Spain could easily finish at the top of the table. And Sweden also have an edge over the other two teams in the group. But In the game of football, any team could upset even the best.
