Our Prediction for Sweden vs Estonia
The "Tre Kronor" have seen a rapid decline in recent years. After reaching the quarterfinals of the 2018 World Cup and winning their group at the Euros, they finished last in their Nations League group, leading to their current place in League C. In the Euro qualifiers, they managed only 10 points from eight matches, falling behind Belgium and Austria. Meanwhile, the "Sinisärgid" (Blueshirts), who once fought for a playoff spot at a major tournament, lost seven matches with just one draw in their qualifying campaign.
In 2024, Sweden appointed Jon Dahl Tomasson as head coach. However, under his leadership, results have been mixed. Estonia, on the other hand, partially redeemed themselves after a string of poor performances by winning the Baltic Cup. They defeated the Faroe Islands 4-1 and beat Lithuania on penalties after a 1-1 draw.
Sweden kicked off their campaign with a 3-1 win over Azerbaijan, conceding only a consolation goal. Estonia faced Slovakia and held out for most of the match before conceding in the second half.
