Sweden vs Wales Team News
Martin Olsson should recover in time to face Wales in Sunday’s friendly, while Oscar Wendt and Jonas Olsson have been overlooked. Ludwig Augustinsson returns to contention after missing the Slovenia game due to club commitments. Albin Ekdal is included in Sweden 23-man squad, but he is unlikely to be risked against Wales. Zlatan Ibrahimovic did not play against Slovenia, but he is widely expected to lead the line for the Swedes against Chris Coleman’s troops.
Injured: Albin Ekdal
Doubtful: Martin Olsson
Suspended: None
Gareth Bale returns to contention after he helped Real Madrid win the Champions League trophy, but he is unlikely to start. The likes of Paul Dummett, Wes Burns, Adam Matthews, Emyr Huws have been discarded from the provisional Wales Euro 2021 squad, with the likes of Adam Henley, Tom Bradshaw and Tom Lawrence missing out as well. Joe Allen, Joe Ledley and Hal Robson-Kanu are unlikely to be risked against Sweden as they are recovering from their respective injuries.
Injured: None
Doubtful: Joe Allen, Joe Ledley, Hal Robson-Kanu
Suspended: None
Quick Facts
- Sweden are after their fourth consecutive win over Wales
- Wales are eyeing their first ever win over Sweden
- Dragons failed to score in three of their four meetings with Sweden
- Under 2.5 goals were scored in six of their last eight matches away from home
- Swedes are undefeated in previous four games at home (friendly matches)
Sweden vs Wales Prediction
Sweden failed to impress in a goalless draw with Slovenia, but it has to be noted that Zlatan Ibrahimovic was rested against the Zmajceki. The team’s key player should return to the starting line-up against Wales and given that Gareth Bale is likely to be rested in Sunday’s friendly, there is every chance the Nordic side will record their fourth consecutive win over Chris Coleman’s team.
Betting Tip: Sweden to win
Odds: 1.90 (9/10) @Betfair
