Sweden - Belgium For the 1st matchday of the 6th group of the Euro 2024 qualifiers, Sweden welcomes Belgium to the Friends Arena in Stockholm. The group is completed by Austria, Estonia and Azerbaijan. The first two of the standings qualify for the finals of the event.
Sweden failed to make a "presence" in the final phase of the World Cup in Qatar, as it finished 2nd in the 2nd qualifying Group, behind Spain and participated in the play off process. There, he overcame the Czech Republic in the first match, winning 1-0 in extra time at home, but in the play-off final he lost 2-0 to Poland and was eliminated.
Its competitive decline in recent years was also seen in the last Nations League, where participating in the 4th Group of the 4nd Division with rivals Serbia, Norway and Slovenia, it finished in the XNUMXth and last place, as a result of which it was relegated to the XNUMXrd Division.
So now she wants to make a fresh start, in a theoretically passable group and claim her return to the major competitions.
Belgium went to the World Cup in Qatar with high ambitions but it was one of the disappointments of the tournament. He participated in a group with Morocco, Croatia and Canada and finishing in 3rd place, with a record of 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss, he experienced elimination very early on.
This failure also brought the end of the collaboration with the Spanish coach Roberto Martinez, after six years. He is replaced by Domenico Tedesco, who takes over the national team for the first time in his short career.
His goal is an easy and quick qualification to the finals of the competition, which will give him the required calm in the new page of Belgium after the relative renewal that took place in the roster.
Start with a derby between two teams that are expected to fight for the first place in the group. Both come from failures, while Sweden didn't even go to the finals of the World Cup, and Belgium went but left too early. on the one hand, the strong home team of Sweden, on the other, the more talented and experienced Belgium have the ability to give us a match with many phases and goals.
Tip: Sweden - Belgium Over 2,5 goals with an odds of 2.20
