Portugal vs Sweden Predictions Betting Tips & Palpite

portugal vs sweden
UEFA Nations League
Date: Wednesday, October 14, 2024
Starts at 19pm UK / 45pm CET
Venue: José Alvalade Stadium.

The Navigators are the current champions of Europe and the League of Nations, and are actively looking to repeat the achievements of the previous edition of this competition.

With a golden generation of talent, the team feels it's time to shine now. And one more title would be the proper preparation before the start of the 2022 World Cup.

So far, they are well on their way to securing an entry into the semi-finals of this tournament. Despite being included in the same group as France and Croatia (2022 World Cup finalists), Fernando Santos' men are at the top of the table.

They have a 100% unbeaten record so far, have scored the most goals and conceded the least.

They are currently level on points with France and, with just three more games to go in the group stage, it's time to move on.

And champions on defense have a great opportunity to do just that. They face the worst team at the table, Azul and Amarelo, who have a 100% losing record so far.

If the men from Santos manage to win this Wednesday, while Les Bleus lose points to Croatia, it would be perfect.

Taking these factors into account, along with Portugal's recent form and dominance of h2h, a victory at Estádio José Alvalade is expected.

Portugal vs Sweden: Preview

Santos men limited themselves to a goalless draw in the last round as a visitor, against France. Meanwhile, Janne Andersson's men lost 2-1 away to Croatia.

As it stands, Navigators have a huge advantage. They are at the top of the table with a perfect unbeaten record, while their opposite number are placed in last place with a 100% losing record.

The European champions had also won the reverse match just a month ago, and had also won three of their previous four matches. In addition, it is important to highlight that they have only lost once at home to their rivals in the last 36 years.

Furthermore, Santos' men had lost only three of their last forty-three games, while their opposite number had lost three of their last four games.

With these statistics in mind, a victory for Portugal is expected this Wednesday.
