Netherlands vs. Sweden Predictions

• When: Saturday, June 20, 7:00 pm CET
• Where: Houston Stadium, Houston, USA

The European derby in the heart of Texas brings the Netherlands and Sweden. After the opening round, Blagult has 3 points, while Oranje has only 1 after its match against Japan. This adds tension to this event, because the Dutch team now has pressure to win this one and keep itself in contention for the next stage.

Netherlands vs. Sweden Preview

Netherlands

Koeman’s men showed plenty of their trademark attacking fluidity against Japan but were ultimately forced to settle for a 2-2 draw. Why? Because of an unstable defense, which again showed many flaws.

This was the 5th consecutive meeting that Oranje conceded. We’ve stated before that the offense usually covers the mess the backline produces, yet against Japan, they couldn’t score more than twice.

Koeman is now in trouble, as his team has to chase a win here. Knowing the Swedish attack, that can be very risky, especially with the defense in its current condition. All three Swedish forwards are incredibly fast.

Sweden

The Blagult couldn’t have dreamed of a better start to their World Cup campaign. Sweden absolutely blew away Tunisia in their opening match, posting a huge 5-1 victory. It was a message to all the other rivals as well.

Their matches are highly efficient, with the last five ending with over 3.5 goals and both teams netting, and the previous 7 ended with BTTS. So it’s total football for the Swedes lately.

The Swedish attack is one of the most potent in the tournament, with Isak, Gyokeres, and Elanga leading the way. It’s one of the reasons why Blagult netted twice or more in all but one of its previous 5 events.

Netherlands vs Sweden Head to Head

The last games between teams were in the 2918 World Cup qualifiers. The first match in Sweden ended 1-1, while the second saw Oranje triumphing at home, 2-0. In 1974, these nations met at the World Cup, and the result was 0-0.

Netherlands vs. Sweden Predictions

Blagult has the luxury of waiting for the rival’s exposure and possible mistake. Oranje is the one that needs to open and attack, and that will bring goals here. The offensive potential of both sides is fantastic with world-class players, while the defense isn’t at that level. Our pick for this game would be high efficiency with goals on both sides. We don’t know who will win, but at least three goals on both sides will be scored.
