Belgium vs. Sweden Predictions

• Where: King Baudoin Stadium, Brussel, Belgium
• When: Monday, October 16, 8:45 pm ET

This is an extremely important game for both units. Belgium could potentially secure the place in Germany, while on the other side, Sweden could lose it. It would be a big blow for Blagult, one of Europe’s best football nations. Meanwhile, Belgium is without Kevin De Bruyne, but with numerous players who can replace City’s captain.

Belgium vs. Sweden Preview

Belgium

The Devils met Austria on the road, and are coming back home following that tough trip. Domenico Tedesco’s presence changed some things in Belgium’s system. For instance, the team didn’t concede a single goal in three games prior to this international break. 

Yes, the rivals were mediocre: Estonia twice and Azerbaijan, but still, this has to be credited. Throughout the past few years, the defense was the biggest problem for the Devils, who lost all the key games due to errors in the back line. 

Tedesco is Italian, and if somebody knows how to defend and protect its own net, that would be a former defender of the Azzurri national team.

Sweden 

It’s swim or sink for Blagult, who has to win here to stay in pursuit of the top two places in this group. The Swedish team has three losses in five rounds, one against Belgium at home and two against Austria.

The failures against the Austrian unit came as big surprises because Sweden was considered a solid favorite over the Austrians. The first was in Vienna, 2-0, and the second, 1-3 at home, which was a shocker at the time.

Sweden is in a difficult situation now, having to look for points in Belgium and, after that, hope to see several results going in their favor, which isn’t that likely. Blagult’s main problem is the lack of playmakers, and the decline in the quality of their play has been evident for the past few years.

Belgium vs. Sweden Head to Head

Romelu Lukaku netted a hat-trick, destroying Sweden’s back line. 

Belgium vs. Sweden Predictions

Even though Sweden needs to win here, while on the other side, Belgium is in a position to calculate – neither of these things will happen. The Devils are always very aggressive at home, and they will attack right from the start to seal their place at the EURO.
