Sweden vs Switzerland World Cup Prediction
The Saint Petersburg Stadium hosts the first round of the 2018 World Cup finals between Sweden and Switzerland. Surprisingly for those who have not seen the F Group games, Sweden finished in 1st place, revealing maximum organization, muscle and being lethal in the end. The “Three Crowns” team beat South Korea 1-0, Mexico 3-0 and lost to Germany in their last game 2-1. The Swedes have an enviable defensive cohesion and conceded only 2 goals (against the world champions) in the 3 matches of this event and in the 2 most recent friendly, keeping their goal inviolable in 4 of the 5 most recent challenges. In the midfield they have Forsberg and Larsson, who add a lot of quality to this selection. On the other side will be Switzerland, who finished 2nd in Group E, winning only one game against Serbia by 2-1, drawing 1-1 with Brazil and 2-2 with Costa Rica, in a duel in which could even to have scored more goals, as the Costa Rican team created 14 eminent goals. The Swiss are focusing their play on Shakiri’s actions and if Sweden manages to catch this player with its high consistency in the backcourt, then there is a good chance of winning or pushing for extra time. Switzerland have conceded goals in all matches, even with Sommer in the wild, so they have had a lot of difficulty in securing the opponents of the opposing teams.
