Portugal

The "Navigators" suffered a sensational defeat to the Morocco national team in the quarterfinals of the 2022 World Cup, but since then, they have been on a winning streak. They have won their last ten matches, all of which were in the qualifying campaign for the 2024 European Championship. Roberto Martinez's team confidently finished at the top of their group, securing early qualification for the Euros. Typically, Portugal's victories were by large margins - 9-0 against Luxembourg, 5-0 against Bosnia and Herzegovina, or 4-0 against Liechtenstein. Moreover, the "Lusitanians" rarely conceded goals.

Sweden

In turn, the Swedish national team cannot boast of performances in the qualification for the 2024 Euros. Placed in a group with Belgium and Austria, the "blue-yellow" team finished only in third place, trailing behind second place by a significant nine points. As a result, Estonia, which finished last in the group but performed better in the Nations League, earned the right to play in the playoffs. The Swedish national team will be spectators at the European Championship for the first time in a long time. Interestingly, the last two matches for the "yellow-blues" were against Estonia - one in the qualifiers, which they won 2-0, and the other in a friendly in January, which they won 2-1.

Interesting Facts about the Match and Head-to-Head History

• The last matches between the two national teams were in the UEFA Nations League in 2020 when Portugal defeated Sweden twice - 2-0 away and 3-0 at home.
• In the last five matches, Portugal has celebrated victory four times.
• The "Both Teams to Score" bet has only won in two out of the last five matches.

Portugal vs Sweden Prediction

Bookmakers give a noticeable advantage to the home team, with the odds constantly decreasing from 1.53 to 1.44. Nevertheless, Portugal is playing at home and even without Cristiano Ronaldo, they should achieve success. Our bet for the match is "Portugal to win with a handicap (-1.0)" with odds of 1.65.
