Match Preview

France defeated Sweden 2-1 in the World Cup qualifying fixture in European Group A in November, and that crucial result made them clear favourites to qualify for the tournament in Russia. The French are one of the best national teams in the world, and they certainly deserve their place, but Didier Deschamps would probably be cautious at Friends Arena in Stockholm. The coach knows that a draw will be enough, and should not be overly adventurous against quality opposition. That is naturally important for our Sweden vs France predictions.

Sweden, who adjust to life without Zlatan Ibrahimovic, are having a reasonable campaign, but they failed to beat the Netherlands at home and lost in Paris. Only a win should be good for them here, but it will be hard to achieve as we show in our Sweden vs France preview.

Sweden vs France Predictions and Betting Advice

The French are favourites according to bookies, but we cannot suggest an away win in our Sweden vs France betting tips, simply because the visitors would be extremely happy with a point. This should be an evenly based game, and the Swedes are usually strong at home in official matches. Therefore, they can snatch a draw from the tired stars of Deschamps thanks to the great form of Emil Forsberg, and the odds are fantastic at 3.50. We shouldn't expect a goal fiest here too, and the odds on under 2.5 goals look very decent at 1.66.

• Under 2.5 goals 1.66 Bet365
