When Sweden come to Estadi Ciutat de Valencia for the World Cup Qualification match on Thursday, Ukraine will be hoping to use their home advantage to their advantage. Ukraine last faced Sweden on 29 June 2021 at Hampden Park, when Ukraine scored a 2-1 win.

That is an average of 1.4 goals against per match. They were able to hang on to a clean sheet two times in those matches.

Ukraine vs Sweden Prediction
Ukraine Form
Ukraine beat Azerbaijan by 2-1, lost 4-0 against France, before defeating Iceland 2-0. Ukraine only pulled off two wins from a possible six in recent World Cup Qualification matches on home soil. Of the remaining four matches, they drew three and lost one, as they scored seven and conceded six goals.
Sweden Form
In their previous three games, Sweden lost 0-1 and 4-1 against Kosovo and Switzerland, respectively, before drawing 1-1 with Slovenia. Sweden didn't manage a single away win in their last six World Cup Qualification matches, but managed one draws, while suffering five defeats. They conceded 13 and scored three goals themselves.
We trust neither defence to be able to keep their opponent at bay, when Ukraine welcome Sweden on Thursday. Goals should be flowing at both ends of the pitch.
