Spain v Sweden betting tips: Seville showdown for qualifying rivals

Spain v Sweden head-to-head

Spain took four points off Sweden in qualifying but did not have things all their own way in either game.

They had to wait for over an hour to break the deadlock in the home game before a Sergio Ramos penalty put them ahead. Alvaro Morata also scored from the spot late on and Mikel Oyarzabal completed a 3-0 victory.

Sweden almost gained revenge in the rematch after Marcus Berg put them in front early in the second half but Rodrigo equalised in stoppage time.

Sweden’s last win against Spain was a 2-0 victory in qualifying for Euro 2008 but Spain made amends at the finals with a 2-1 win.

Previous XI

Sweden: Olsen, Lustig, Lindelof, Bengtsson, Danielson, Larsson, Ekdal, Forsberg, Olsson, Kulusevski, Isak.

Key battles

The omission of Ramos was the biggest talking point when the Spain squad was announced but this could be the tournament when several of their young stars step up a level.

Ferran Torres is not often a first-choice forward at Manchester City but hit a hat-trick in Spain’s demolition of Germany while Morata is no stranger to the big occasions and Gerard Moreno will be full of confidence after helping Villarreal lift the Europa League.

Spain to win and Moreno to have two or more shots on target can be backed at 6/4 while Morata (10/3) and Torres (9/2) are obvious options in the first goalscorer odds.

Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof will be tasked with marshalling the Sweden defence.
