Netherlands Women vs Sweden Women Predictions

• Netherlands scored a joint-high 48 goals during qualifying.
• Sweden bagged 40 goals during qualifying, averaging five per game.
• Both teams scored in three of Sweden’s last four games.

A hyper-competitive Euro encounter

Sheffield United’s Bramall Lane plays host to this Euro encounter between reigning European champions Netherlands and the first ever winners of the competition Sweden. This game is arguably one of the most competitive games on paper in the competition, which is shown by the market which appears impossible to split.

Netherlands cruised through qualifying scoring a joint-high 48 goals, 4.8 per-match on average. That attacking prowess will likely be on display yet again given that the Dutch have not failed to score in any of their eight internationals during 2022.

Much like the Oranje, Sweden sailed through their qualifying group unbeaten while netting a whopping five goals per match on average. They too have not been held scoreless in this calendar year, but their run goes even further back across 18 games since June 2021.

Going for goals

We predict that the value lies in backing both teams to score in this clash between two of the pre-tournament favourites, but the reigining champions could just about edge the win by a 2-1 scoreline with all-time leading scorer Vivianne Miedema leading the line.
