Prediction published on 16/10/2023, 05:52  by Daniel Ngulu in Euro Predictions

Belgium have their place at Euro 2024 secured even as they prepare to host Sweden in their next Group F game. heading into this game, Belgium top the group on 16 points while Sweden are third on six points. Belgium have by far been the best in this group and their 3-2 win over second placed Austria was testament to that. They even had to finish the final 12 matches with a man down after Amadou Onana’s red card. In the first match of this group, Belgium trounced Sweden 3-0 away from home. One would expect it to be easier when playing at home, and without pressure to advance, having secured their ticket. Belgium’s last five home matches have been unconvincing either way. They won two of the last five at home. Three of their last five matches produced over 2.5 goals. Romelu Lukaku has been a star for the Belgians and coming into this game he will be the key focus. In the last five matches for Belgium he has scored six times. His nine goals in these qualifiers make him the top scorer.

Sweden lost at home to Belgium and here they’ll be seeking revenge. They aren’t in great shape for that though. After a 3-1 loss to Austria, Sweden recovered to beat Moldova in a friendly by the same margin. One area they’ve had trouble in, is their defending. They have one clean sheet in five matches and each of their three matches have had over 2.5 goals. While they haven't had a strong run lately, Sweden have been consistent in attack. They failed to score in just one of their last five matches. When it comes to Euro qualification, Sweden have three losses in their last five matches. Four of their last five matches in Euro qualification produced over 2.5 goals. with six points in this group, Sweden’s fate isn’t in their hands even with a game in hand. Should second-placed Austria beat Azerbaijan in the other Group F game, Sweden’s race will be well over. Sweden have a good scoring run away from home. They have managed at least four goals a game in three of five away matches in Euro qualification.
