Why Over 1.5 Goals Is Better Than Both Teams To Score

4y ago

Tearing it up in Group A3 of the Nations League, France have notched up thirteen points from an available fifteen, and are comfortable placed at the summit. The best side in such a difficult section, France have proven to have what it takes to go all the way in the competition.

Meanwhile, Sweden have been shambolic and are rooted to the bottom of the standings, boasting only three points on the board. Level on points with third-placed Croatia, Blagult need a monumental shocking win here, to put themselves in a good position to avoid relegation.

Having conquered the whole world in 2018, France went on to embark on a brilliant run in the inaugural Nations League, reaching the final of the competition. They were on fire at the time, and fully deserving of a place in the last-two.

Taking on European champions Portugal in that crucial game, Les Bleus were deemed slight favorites for the win, but failed to live up to the billing. In truth, France were the better of the two sides on the night, controlling proceedings throughout the game.

However, profligacy in the final-third cost them dearly as they were punished late in extra-time by an Eder strike – the powerful drive finding its way into the back of the net, and condemning France to an embarrassing defeat.

With another run-out in the competition this year, Deschamps’ men will be looking to go one better than they managed last time out. They have already confirmed their place in the knockout phases, thanks to a hard-fought victory over eternal rivals Portugal last weekend.

Despite leaving A Selecao pegged in their own half for most part of the game, France struggled to find a breakthrough as Rui Patricio kept producing series of world-class saves. Ultimately, Kante pounced on a rebound-ball to break the deadlock, sending his side through to the semifinals.

Such a talented group of players, France are one of the few teams touted as favorites to lift the Nations League trophy. They will have nothing to play for, save for pride, when they tackle relegation-threatened Sweden in this upcoming contest.

Easily the worst side in the section, Blagult have picked up only three points, thanks to a 2-1 victory over Ukraine on the last matchday. Rock-bottom in Group A3, Sweden must now pull off an upset against table-toppers France to stand any chances of League A survival.

France vs Sweden Predictions

Having already secured their place in the next round of the competition, Deschamps will be tempted to play a second-string squad here, in a bid to rest some of his regular players. This opens up something for Sweden to attempt exploiting.

Surely, Blagult will be desperate for victory here and will be pushing forward in numbers. As such, goals are a surety here. Conclusively, the safest punt will be backing both sides to hit the target, perhaps with France coming out tops.
