1.65Tip and bets
The Swedish national team is undoubtedly the favorite of the match and will play only to win - the Swedes have a huge advantage in the selection of players, the team leaders are in excellent shape, and there will also be plenty of motivation. Despite the recent strong home matches, it will be difficult for Azerbaijan to counter such a powerful opponent, it makes sense to give preference to the guests.
We think that the hosts have no chance. Betting Tip - Asian handicap (-1) on Sweden . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.99
Bet on total
Sweden will certainly play openly and only to win - the Swedes have very high-level players in attack, who have been scoring goals in their clubs at the start of the season, first of all, we are talking about Viktoy Gyekeres. It will be almost impossible for Azerbaijan to stay clean, but the hosts are capable of responding, the Swedes are very vulnerable in defense.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 1.89
Bet on corners
Sweden are the favourites and will probably dominate for the entire 90 minutes – the visitors should win confidently on corners.
Bet - Asian handicap (-2) on corners for Sweden. This bet is offered for 1.89
