Spain will be hosting Sweden in Seville for their first game of the European championship 2021. With a talented coach by their side, La Roja will desperately be looking to win their fourth UEFA Euro this year, making them the most successful European team in the world with the most Euro titles.
Our Prediction:
Spain 2-1 Sweden
Actual Result:
Spain 0-0 Sweden
Spain
After Sergio Ramos’ exemption from the squad, many eyebrows were raised, and Lucho’s selection was questioned.
New centre-back Aymeric Laporte may not be able to fill in the boots of the Spanish legend, but he will try to solidify the fort.
Pau Torres will be partnering Laporte at the back, while Moreno could be partnering up with Morata in a potential 4-4-2 formation.
After their last victory in the Euro championship back in 2012, it has been difficult for Spain, but the fans are pretty optimistic about this tournament. Spain will begin the quest by looking at a perfect win on Monday night.
Sweden
Sweden will be starting their European championship campaign with an impressive record of five wins out of five.
The head coach came for a press conference and stated that facing Spain might be a tough challenge, but his team is up for it.
Will Sweden put pressure on the monumental Spanish side? We certainly hope so.
Possible lineups
Spain will be without Sergio Busquets and Diego Llorente. Alternatively, there will be no significant exemptions from the Swiss side.
Spain: Simon; Marcos Llorente, Laporte, Pau Torres, Alba; Thiago, Rodri, Koke; Ferran Torres, Morata, Gerard Moreno
Sweden: Olsen; Lustig, Lindelof, Danielson, Augustinsson; Seb Larsson, Ekdal, Olsson, Forsberg; Isak, Berg
Prediction
Our experts predict an easy victory for Spain against an in-form Swiss side.
Our prediction: Spain 2-1 Sweden
After the reinforcement of Laporte from France in Spanish defence, Spain would be very likely to hold off the opposition.
