Sweden - Romania team news and expert analysis

Sweden endured a disastrous qualifying campaign last year, collecting just two points from six matches. However, by way of the "Nations League path," they defeated Ukraine and Poland in the spring to reach the World Cup. There, a convincing win over Tunisia and a draw with Japan, combined with a defeat to the Netherlands, saw them advance to the playoffs. But they were immediately thrashed by France, losing 0-3.

Romania also had a chance to qualify for the World Cup. However, they lost their very first playoff match in March, going down 0-1 to Turkey. As a result, they have played only friendlies since then. In the spring, they lost 0-2 to Slovakia, but in June they drew with Georgia and defeated Wales.

The hosts score 1.8 goals per match but concede even more — 2.3. Gheorghe Hagi's charges have looked slightly better, scoring 1.6 goals per game and conceding a little less — 1.5.

He is an analyst in the world of football who doesn't mind adding to his budget with a lucky bet, something he has been doing for the last 10 years. I don't believe in luck, but I believe that the motivation of the opponents and their kit plays a big role, and any sensation is explainable. I prefer to play cautiously, because it is better to win 5 out of 5 bets at odds of 1.6-1.7 than to lose 2 out of 3 bets at odds of 2.2.
