Estonia vs Sweden Prediction and Betting Tips

Next Monday, Estonia faces a difficult task in the UEFA Nations League against Sweden. While the hosts are in third place, Sweden are currently top of the group and are likely to progress to the knockout rounds.

However, which betting markets offer the most value for this particular game? Let's take a look.

This is how the bookmakers see it: Sweden is the big favorite

It's hardly surprising that Sweden has the backing of the bookies in this game. Not only are they high in the FIFA rankings, but they beat Estonia by three goals just a few weeks ago. As for the respective odds for this game, Sweden is at odds of 1/4 while Estonia is at odds of 10/1 to win this game.

Head-to-head race: Sweden almost flawless

It has been an unfortunate duel for Estonia over the years. In fact, Sweden had managed to beat Estonia five times in a row before this game. And in three of those five games they won by a margin of at least two goals without conceding a goal.

However, Estonia managed to draw a few games against Sweden in international friendlies. Regardless, when it really matters, Sweden always comes out on top.

Players to watch: Vlasiy Sinyavskiy and Viktor Gyökeres

Viktor Gyökeres, who has scored two goals in three games for Sweden in the UEFA Nations League this season, is certainly the most important player here. He also scored in the group's 3-0 win over Estonia. And the price for him to score at any time in this game is currently 13/20 with Betano.

For the hosts, we think Vlasiy Sinyavskiy is the man who could have the most impact on the result. The winger scored in the 3-1 win against Azerbaijan and when he plays well he can make a difference. As for his chances of scoring, he is currently priced at 11/1 at Betano.

Expected lineups

Sweden will have to deal with the continued absence of Alexander Isak due to injury problems, and Gustaf Nilsson will also miss the game with a calf injury. As for Estonia, they currently enjoy a much better record and have no major injuries to report. Below is what we think the starting lineups will look like:

Estonia possible starting lineup:

Hein; Paskotsi, Tamm, Mets, Schjonning-Larsen; Miller, Poom, Kait; Sinyavskiy, Anier, Sorga

Sweden's possible starting lineup:

Olsen; Wahlqvist, Lindelöf, Starfelt, Augustinsson; Kulusevski, Svanberg, Larsson, Elanga; Gyökeres, Nilsson

Anything else catch your eye?

Sweden managed to score two or more goals in all three Nations League games so far. However, they also conceded goals in two of these three games. For this reason, the BTTS market here seems quite attractive and the current odds for this are at 5/4.

At the same time, these goals have to come from somewhere! And as already mentioned, Gyökeres is one of Sweden's main goalscorers in this competition so far. But he's also quick on the move, meaning the market for Gyökeres' first goal is also attractive at odds of 12/5.
