UEFA Women’s Euro 2022: Sweden v. Netherlands

What will be the match result?

Sweden: Win

Netherlands: Win or Draw

 

Current odds:

Sweden: Win: (+145)

Netherlands: Win or Draw: (-190)

 

• Reigning Women’s Euro champions Netherlands get their title defence underway with an encounter against the inaugural 1984 champions Sweden at Bramall Lane. Something of a rivalry has formed between these two nations in recent years with the Netherlands knocking Sweden out at the quarter final stage en route to their 2017 victory, before eliminating them from the World Cup semi-final in 2019!

• The Netherlands qualified for this tournament with ease, registering a perfect return of ten wins which was accompanied by a joint-high 48-goal haul! Englishman Mark Parsons takes the helm for the Oranje and he recently stated that “six teams all have the quality to win” but still feels that the expectation is on his Dutch side to beat the rest.

• While games against the Dutch have left a bitter taste in Swedish mouths in recent years, they do hold the edge in the all-time H2H (W10, D5, L7). Boss Peter Gerhardsson seeks to improve on that record as the world #2 ranked side look to complete the trifecta of gold, silver and bronze after finishing third at the 2019 World Cup and second at the Tokyo Olympics under his stewardship.
