Why Belgium is a good play versus Sweden

On paper, it doesn’t look as if Belgium has a shot versus the more high-profile Swedes. But the Belgians have had a decent EURO 2022. In their first match, Belgium drew 1-1 with Iceland. The Belgians followed up the draw with a 2-1 loss versus France. The French are one of the best teams at the Women’s European Championships. A 1-0 win over Italy is the reason they made it to the quarterfinals. The Belgians are an underdog but they’ve been a dog throughout the tournament.

Why Sweden is a good play versus Belgium

After a 1-1 draw against the Netherlands, Sweden rolled into this quarterfinals match. The Swedes dusted Switzerland 2-1. But that performance was nothing compared to the 5-0 beating Sweden handed Portugal. What’s so interesting about Sweden’s victory over the Portuguese is that four players scored. Filippa Angeldal scored 2. Carole Costa, Kosovare Asllani, and Stina Blackstenius each scored 1.

Final Betting Analysis: Sweden vs. Belgium

Belgium is a decent soccer team, but unless Sweden falls apart in this match, the favorite should roll into the semi-finals. Belgium just isn’t as good as Sweden.

Almost as important is the fact the Swedes are deep. Rolfo and Bennison didn’t score against Portugal, but both scored goals against Switzerland.

Sweden has multiple scoring options at any moment on the pitch. It’s impossible to explain how important that will be if the Swedes end up going against England for the championship.

In the game against Belgium, the Swede’s firepower should be too much. Belgium can try and play a defensive game, but Sweden is so flexible, they should break down the Belgium defense no problem. Sweden wins this by at least a couple of goals.
