Who Will Win 2020/2021 Bundesliga Season?

4y ago

Struggling to hit their former high marks, Sweden have been shambolic in the Nations League this season, and are delivering horrific performances on a regular basis. Rooted to the bottom of Group A3, they do not have a single point to their name.

Just like the hosts, Croatia also haven’t enjoyed an ideal run in the competition, and are already out of contention for qualification to the next round. With SWE and CRO focused on avoiding relegation, expect a ballsy affair between these two.

Sweden vs Croatia Team News

Though they weren’t expected to top this difficult group consisting of heavyweights like France and Portugal, many counted on Sweden to provide quality competition. However, the Blue and Yellow have failed to live up to the billing.

Churning out disappointing displays, Sweden cannot seem to grab a win to save their lives. In fact, they have lost all of their four fixtures and are locked on zero points. Pressure is already mounting on Janne Andersson to get his faltering side back on the right track.

Blagult know they are out of the race for qualification from the group phases, but will be determined to avoid getting relegated to League B. Coming up against an equaling underwhelming Croatia side this weekend, Sweden stand a decent chance of grabbing a result.

Scheduled to face off Denmark in a friendly game on Wednesday night, Sweden were brought down to bare bones – Wind and Bah putting them to the sword. Their third defeat on the spin, Blagult have recorded only one win from their previous six fixtures.

This just about highlights Sweden’s horrendous run of form. They will need something outside of the ordinary to upset Croatia in this upcoming contest. The Luka Modric-led side are also in shambles, but are faring a little better than this weekend’s foe.

From their four fixtures, Croatia have picked up a single victory – those three points arriving in a hard-fought 2-1 defeat of Sweden. Now, they are taking on this same beleaguered side, and will be gunning for nothing but success.

Their previous game saw them play out a thrilling 3-3 draw versus Turkey in an international friendly match. Prior to that match, they were narrowly edged 2-1 by France, no thanks to a late strike from PSG star Kylian Mbappe. Surely, they need a positive result here, to stay above relegation waters.

Sweden vs Croatia Predictions

Sweden have been through the wringer in this year’s edition of the Nations League, losing all their opening four games, and likely to end the campaign without a win.

Determined to retain their spot in League A, Croatia will be cautious to avoid defeat in this fixture. Expected to adopt a defensive tactic, Vatreni are unlikely to concede goals. Given a draw will be acceptable for the visitors, the safest punt will be a double chance backing them for victory.
