On Monday, October 14, in the 4th round of the UEFA Nations League, Sweden will face Estonia away. The prediction and betting analysis for this match has been prepared by the DailySports team.
Estonia
In the previous edition of the Nations League, the modest Estonian national team won its group in League D, which allowed them to compete for a spot in the European Championship playoffs. However, Estonia could not match up against Poland in the semifinals, losing 1-5.
It seemed likely that Estonia would be an obvious candidate for relegation back to League D in the current Nations League, but after three rounds, they sit in third place with 3 points. The "Blue Shirts" predictably lost to Slovakia (0-1) and Sweden (0-3), but on Friday, they surprisingly defeated Azerbaijan at home 3-1.
Sweden
The Swedish national team is enduring one of its worst periods in history. Not only did they fail to qualify for the European Championship for the first time in many years, but they also managed to be relegated from League B, earning just 4 points in a group with Serbia, Slovenia, and Norway. It’s clear that the Swedish federation expects the team to return to League B.
However, Sweden faces stiff competition for first place from a strong Slovakia side. At this stage, both teams have 7 points. In the first two rounds, Sweden defeated Azerbaijan (3-1) and Estonia (3-0), but on Friday, they played a 2-2 draw against Slovakia. Sweden holds the top spot due to a better goal difference.
Match Facts
- Estonia has won only 1 of their last 10 official matches.
- Over 2.5 goals have been scored in Sweden's last 5 matches.
Possible Lineups
- Estonia: Hein, Peetson, Tamm, Mets, Sönning-Larsen, Ainsalu, Käit, Sinjavski, Shein, Yakovlev, Anier

H2H
This will be the 23rd match between Sweden and Estonia. In the previous 22, Estonia has never won and has managed just 3 draws.
Estonia vs Sweden prediction
Sweden and Estonia are on completely different levels. It’s evident that the visitors are the favorites in this match. I expect plenty of goals, so my bet is "Over 2.5 goals."
