Greece vs Sweden Match Preview

Greece are ranked at 4th place with 3 points and come after three draws over three matches played so far. They have struggled a lot to compete for one of the top two spots and the quality gap has been quite notable. They started the campaign with a 1-1 draw against Spain but that was followed by two consecutive draws against Georgia and Kosovo.

While it is true they are unbeaten the problem is that in terms of gameplay they never did better than their rivals. They had less ball possession and shoots on goal in each duel so I do not expect any great changes from them here.

Sweden, on the other hand, are ranked at the 2nd place with 9 points and come after a perfect record with three wins over three matches played. They have scored six goals, averaging two goals per game, while conceding just one, having the best defensive side in the group. In fact they play a very solid football and physically are very hard to outclass.

Their 2-1 win against Spain proved that and here they have a good chance to give a strong signal to the group, that not only they aim for the top two spots, but they also aim to finish 1st and qualify directly. Despite being on the road by what they have shown so far I see them more than able to grab a positive result here.

In conclusion, I think Sweden can win this match or get at least a draw. Greece lacks the quality needed to compete even in a group of five teams and I do not see how they could inflict the first loss to their rivals. Sweden is playing too good right now and considering the odds given, being also covered in case of a draw, DNB 2 seems like the best pick in this one.
