Will Sweden make it to the EM 2020?
Free soccer picks
Sweden currently occupy 18th place in the FIFA World Ranking and have qualified for the last 5 European Championships. Once they managed to survive the preliminary round and move into the quarter-finals. However, this happened in 2004 and since then it was no longer possible to assert oneself in the group. Nevertheless, the team experienced an upturn since the resignation of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Last year, they sensationally moved into the quarter-finals of the World Cup and had to beat there only the Englishman.

Of course, they are the favorites behind Spain in their qualifying group, but face tough opponents Romania and Norway. This is also reflected in the table, where they claim the 2nd place, but only one point ahead of Romania and 3 points ahead of Norway. 4 of their 7 games were won, 2 ended in a draw and only one was lost. The goal difference stands at 17: 8 goals. At the moment they are unbeaten for 3 games and one has a goal difference of 9: 1 goals.
Free soccer tips
In their own country, they did not have to accept defeat in this qualification and two games were won and one ended in a draw. Whether this succeeds against Spain, may be doubted because of the previous duels. Only 3 out of 9 games were won and the last victory is over 10 years ago. The last 3 games were all lost and it always fell over 2.5 goals in the game, which is mainly due to Spain with 8 goals.
Is Spain fixing its European Championship ticket?
Free soccer predictions
For more than 10 years, Spain has been one of the strongest national teams in the world, during which time they celebrated 2 European championships and a World Cup. The last European or World Cup for which Spain could not qualify took place in 1992, in Sweden of all places. Despite all this euphoria and the many titles it runs at the last finals no longer as desired and since 2014, it was no longer beyond the round of the last sixteen.

Also in the UEFA Nations League could not convince and brought in a group with England and Croatia 2nd place. In the European Championship Qualification Group F they are still the big favorites and after 7 games they can prove this impressively. 6 of these 7 games were won and only away against Norway it was enough for a 1: 1 draw. The goal difference is 18: 4 goals, making them the best in their group both offensively and defensively. However, they could only finish one of their 4 away games without a goal.
Free soccer tips
Both against the Faroe Islands, as well as against Romania and Norway conceded a goal. Their coach Robert Moreno, who has been active since March, can therefore show a point average of 2.67 points per game and has not yet suffered a defeat. In addition, there seems to be a little change under him and young players like Mikel Oyarzabal, Fabian Ruiz or Dani Ceballos get their chances. With a victory, the Spaniards could finally redeem their ticket for the European Championship 2020.
Bet Tip and Forecast
Free soccer tips
For the Swedes there might be a lot going on in this game, so we think they will invest everything in this home game. The Spaniards have clearly the higher quality in the squad, but have already shown against Norway that they are not indomitable abroad. For all the risk takers among you we would therefore recommend a Double Chance Tip 1 / X. On the other hand, the preferred and somewhat safer variants would be YES on both teams.

In Group F of the European Championship qualification, the squatter between Sweden and Spain is on Tuesday at the Friends Arena in Solna. The visitors only need a draw to secure their starting ticket for next year’s European Championship, while the home country desperately needs the points to keep the competition at bay.

Sweden:
For Sweden there is a lot at stake for the home crowd on Tuesday evening. With only three group games to go, the Scandinavians are on European Championship with fourteen points and second place in group F, but they feel the hot breath of Romania (thirteen points) and Norway (ten points) in the neck. In the event of a loss of points against the Spaniards, the men of coach Janne Andersson can wet their chest.
Free soccer picks
Sweden can in any case work towards the squatter against Spain with confidence, because last weekend the blue yellows easily won 0-4 at low-flyer Malta. The visitors didn’t have to go all the way for a moment, and Andersson could even afford to give key players like Victor Lindelöf and Alexander Isak a rest. However, they will return to the Swedish base on Tuesday evening.
Free soccer tips
Spain:
Spain was close to final European Championship qualification in and against Norway last Saturday, but a late penalty kick for the home country canceled Saul Niguez’s opening goal: 1-1. It meant the first point loss for the Spaniards, who had won their previous six European Championship qualifiers each.
Free soccer tips
The late tie in Norway was of course a damper, but there is of course no dirt left for coach Roberto Moreno. A point against Sweden is enough for European Championship qualification, so the remaining three group matches are for La Roja basically refined exhibition games. In that respect Sweden-out promises to be an interesting game, as the visitors will have to do without Sergio Ramos. With his 168th (!) International match, he relieved Iker Casillas as a Spanish international record last weekend, but he also received his third yellow card of this European Championship qualifying series. Despite his suspension, Ramos did travel to Sweden. Spain can use its moral support well, because the red shirts managed to keep the zero on foreign soil in only one of their last seven international matches.

Some tickets for EURO 2020 in the coming year are already taken on the qualification. Although the crunch-time only follows with the last two matchdays in November, teams can still jump on the train to the European Championship finals on Tuesday. For example, there are the Spaniards, who would certainly be present at the European Championships with a win in Sweden.
The first match point was awarded by the Iberians on Saturday in Norway. Now try again at the neighbor. But if it does not work in Solna, then the Spaniards will just have to detain until November. At the latest with the home game against Malta then the EM participation should be brought under roof.
Free soccer predictions
In the table, the situation is as follows. The Spaniards are unbeaten with 19 points from seven games at the top. By human judgment, nothing can go wrong. Sweden (14 points), Romania (13) and Norway (10) are likely to fight for second place. Malta and the Faroe Islands are both already beaten off.
Free soccer tips
The Swedes still have the advantage that they could go in the event of a missed qualification nor the detour over the playoffs in the Nations League. The Scandinavians therefore do not have the big pressure. In general, in the match between Sweden and Spain, the first forecast is for an away win.
However, the Iberians have made a mistake in the 1-1 draw in Norway and the Swedes are very hard to beat in their own stadium. Therefore, on Tuesday we expect a very close game, in which the Furia Roja may suffer the next point loss. We do not think it is out of the question to place a tip on a counter of the hosts in the match between Sweden and Spain.

A home victory would be a big step forward for Sweden in the direction of EURO 2020. Perhaps the Elf of Janne Andersson on Tuesday can provide a small surprise. The kick-off for the European Championship qualifier between Sweden and Spain at Solna's Friends Arena will take place on 15.10.2019 at 20:45.

For the sixth time in a row, the Swedes now aim to participate in a European Championship. In the qualification the Scandinavians are therefore not to be taken lightly. The performance at the tournaments is then no longer so noteworthy. At the moment, however, we are still in qualifying and the Swedes are mostly strong.

In addition, the team of Janne Andersson in Division B of the Nations League has won their group and not only rises there in the elite, but has, in case of failure in the regular qualifiers, on the Nations League nor the chance of the EM Participation. The Swedes may therefore be glad that the EURO 2020 will not take place without them.
Especially at home, the Swedes are difficult to record opponents. In their last seven home games, Sweden lost just one defeat and they played in an unofficial match outside the FIFA FIFA World Cup against Finland. Therefore, we have to question again whether we would use the odds on an away win in the match between Sweden and Spain.
Last Saturday, the Swedes won 4-0 in Malta. Then came criticism that no goals could be scored from the game. Danielson, Sebastian Larsson with two penalties and an own goal of the Maltese helped in the end to the clear away win and important three points in the fight for the European Championship ticket.

Janne Andersson did not care how the goals and the victory came from. For him, only the three points count and after these the coach also strives on Tuesday against the Spaniards.
"We will try to choose the right players for the match against Spain and let them play in the right way."

What Andersson has personally devised for the match against Spain, we will learn only at short notice. However, he will not be able to bring some actors into his thinking. Hiljemark, Durmaz, Olsson, Claesson or Jakob Johansson will not be available for Sweden on Tuesday.

A European Championship without Spain is unthinkable. We can calm all fans of the Furia Roja, however, because the European Championship ticket is only theoretically snatched from the Iberians. If everything goes smoothly on Tuesday, Roberto Moreno's team is even ahead of schedule for the Europe-wide EURO 2020.
Free soccer tips
The balance of recent months, under Luis Enrique, who has given up the job because of the death of his daughter, and whose successor Roberto Moreno reads almost without blemish. There have been seven wins and one draw in the last eight games. However, the Spanish media are wondering if Roberto Moreno is the right man to choose the right mix from an enormous reservoir of experienced and talented players.
However, we think that it is criticism at a very high level. Spain will be at the European Championships and compete there as one of the favorites. This team has all the skills to win the European title again. That's another reason why the bookmakers are predicting an away win in the match between Sweden and Spain.

On the last Saturday, however, this could not be celebrated. In Norway, it was enough for the Iberians in the end only to a 1-1 draw. The Spaniards went after the break by Saul Niguez 1-0 lead. The equalizer Kepa had to accept a penalty in the fourth minute of stoppage time.
Sergio Ramos, who is now the Spaniard's record player with 168 international appearances, has presented his record-breaking performance somewhat differently. Therefore, he made clear after the match, how proud he is, but also that he would like to have the record exchanged for a win.
"I would have exchanged the record for a win."

But he is not the only well-known Spaniard who is not part of the game. There are some actors who can not be injured or not nominated by Roberto Moreno. These include Paco Alcacer, Alvaro Morata, Marco Asensio, Isco, Jose Luis Gaya and Jordi Alba. Nevertheless, the Spaniards will bring a powerful team on the lawn.

Sweden vs. Spain Direct Comparison
Free soccer tips
14 duels have been scheduled between Sweden and Spain to this day. In a direct comparison, the Iberians are ahead with 7: 3 victories in four draws. The last Swedish victory in a direct duel is already exactly 13 years back. In qualifying for the EURO 2008, the Scandinavians won at home with 2: 0.
It is interesting that the Spaniards have never won in Sweden. In four internationals on Swedish soil there were three draws and a victory for the Scandinavians. The last match was scheduled for June in Madrid. Spain won 3-0 thanks to goals from Ramos, Morata and Oyarzabal.

Sweden v. Spain Tip & Forecast - 15.10.2019
To date, Spain has not won any international matches against Sweden in Sweden. On Tuesday there will be another difficult game for the Iberians. However, the Furia Roja with seven wins and a draw from the last eight international matches is very good mood. However, there was a draw last Saturday in Norway and this opponent is not quite as strong as the Swedish team.
Free soccer predictions
The Swedes are a powerful force at home and could take a big step towards sixth consecutive European Championships victory over a seemingly overpowering opponent. Even if the Spaniards are favored, it looks like it tends to be as if we were in the match between Sweden and Spain rather a tip on a point win the hosts place.

Key facts - Sweden vs. Spain tip
In the last seven home games Sweden conceded only in an unofficial international match a defeat.
Spain have taken seven wins and one draw from the last eight internationals.
The Spaniards have not won an away match in Sweden until today.
We think there will be plenty of possession for the guests, but they face the Scandinavian physical play. There is a lot of talk about a point difference, but we would not rule out a victory for the Swedes at home either, especially since the guests with Sergio Ramos are missing a key player.
Free soccer predictions
We therefore use the betting odds on the double chance 1X in the duel between Sweden and Spain. Bwin offers the best odds for this game outcome with up to 2.00.
