Belgium vs Sweden Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 16th October 2023
Belgium and Sweden meet on Monday at Koning Boudewijnstadion, as the final rounds of the qualifying group stage approaches. While the former booked their place on Friday, the latter are still in with a theoretical chance of following the Belgians. Belgium won 3-0, followed up winning 1-0 before a third win by 2-0 secure total dominance in their last three matches against Sweden.
We have reached the final round of the group stage qualifying and Belgium head into this as number one. They collected 16 points, while Sweden have six points as number three. Sweden take on Belgium as number 23, whereas the home side sit as number 5 in the FIFA world ranking.
The bookmakers have made heavy favourites of Belgium to win their group, and they have so far lived up to their billing. Their place at the Euro's next year is secured, and they can send out the reserve squad to get a whiff of the big stage, while Sweden need a win badly.
Belgium vs Sweden Prediction
Belgium Form
Belgium swept all aside in their last three matches and started off by winning 0-1 against Azerbaijan. They went on to defeat Estonia 5-0 and made it three on the spin against Austria in a 2-3 victory. Belgium won five of their last six internationals, scoring 16 and conceding five along the way. They also drew one and lost zero as well.
Sweden Form
Results have been up and down for Sweden, who beat Estonia by 0-5. Following that up proved too difficult, as they lost 1-3 against Austria, before claiming three points in a 3-1 win against Moldova. Sweden recorded a very decent outcome of four wins from six internationals, in which they banged in 18 goals, whilst conceding ten. They also drew zero and lost two.
Bookmakers have Belgium down as rather big favourites for the win against Sweden. While it might prove a bit more troublesome than odds suggest, we find it equally tempting to side with the hosts.
