Check out our predictions of the day for Portugal vs. Sweden
Prediction 1: Portugal x Sweden / Portugal to win
Our prediction for the match between Portugal and Sweden is that Portugal will win by a score of 3-1, and the reason for this prediction is as follows. Four of the past five matches between Portugal and Sweden have been won by Portugal. As far as the bookies are concerned, Portugal is the favorite to win this match by a margin of 70.4%, although the likelihood of Portugal winning away from home is just 12.5%.
Prediction 2: Portugal x Sweden / Over 3.5 goals
One may expect Portugal, a self-assured team eager to make a statement before Euro 2024, to play Sweden at home with all guns blazing. As Ronaldo nears the end of his playing career, the younger Portuguese squad is eager to help him win a second European Championship this year. Their home match against Sweden might be the perfect opportunity to put their full firepower on display before the tournament begins. The guests should sit tight, wait for the hosts to make a mistake, and then crush them. In general, Roandlo’s squad should score a ton of goals.
Prediction 3: Portugal x Sweden / Ronaldo to score anytime
Since none of his key players are out with injuries, the Spanish coach may have an optimal starting eleven versus Sweden. Ronaldo, along with fellow superstars Rafael Leao and Joao Felix, will spearhead the home team’s attack. We think the Al-Nassr frontman will be hitting the target in this one again.
