Serbia vs Sweden Predictions

• Sweden have lost four of their last five matches.
• Serbia are unbeaten in seven of their last nine matches on home soil.
• Serbia won the reverse leg by a one-goal margin.

Feel-good factor surrounding Serbia

Excitement has been brewing in the Serbian camp as youngster Stefan Mitrovic has received his first senior call up and he’ll hope to see some minutes here. It’s the first of two crucial matches and the hosts will need to secure victory in both if they are to stand a chance of sealing promotion to the top tier. Serbia have lost just one of their last ten on home soil and have scored at least three times in each victory.

The visitors are in disarray and are on a run of three successive defeats coming into this clash. They have a very poor away record having won just twice in 11 such fixtures, losing the other nine, and what’s even more alarming is that they haven’t even managed to score in five of those fixtures. It’ll be a tough task to avoid another defeat here.

Home win on the cards

We see the hosts emerging victorious here. There is a buzz around the camp and they face off in front of their home fans against a side that looks completely disjointed. We’ll take a home win.
