A question that will be clarified in the course of the World Cup betting tip forecast.

The Greeks are likely to look at the final match against Kosovo with a weeping eye. Until the end of the season, the “Galanolefki” was in front with a 1-0 lead, but then gave up the victory that was once believed to be certain. Everything started very well for the guests from Greece. After a very short first round, Anastasios Douvikas secured a 1-0 victory shortly before the half-time break. After the side change, the home team played out field advantages and came to one or the other conclusion. But none of this seemed really compelling. Nevertheless, Vedat Muriqi managed to equalise in the extra time. A bitter point loss of the “Galanolefki”.
After three encounters, Greece continues to wait for the first three. With three draws, however, there was still no loss on the other side. All three pairings with Spain, Georgia and most recently Kosovo ended with a 1-1 draw. The draw in Spain on the first matchday is a particularly strong performance. The three points scored by coach John van’t Schip in Group B put the team in penultimate place. The offensive looks at three goals scored and the defense were given just as many goals conceded on the other side.
So far, only one game has been played in front of a local backdrop. This brought a 1:1 against Georgia. In order to stand up to the Swedes, it is undoubtedly necessary to improve their performance.

The Swedes gave a strong performance in the top game against Spain on the last matchday of the World Cup qualification. The home team from Spain got off to a very good start and only needed four minutes to get in front of the pack through debutant Carlos Soler. However, the guests did not plug in at all and set off directly for the attack. Only one minute later Isaac was on the spot and equalized to 1:1. In the first round, the visitors had more of the game, but could not make a profit from the chances of Forsberg and Kulusevski. This should change after the page change. Kulusevski played beautifully for Claesson, who finished 2-1. The pairing was now finally turned. Since very little came from Spain and the “Tre Kronor” mainly focused on the administration of the result, it remained in the end with a narrow 2:1 success.
Already the third win in the third match for the Elf of coach Andersson. Without a doubt a more than strong performance of the entire team. In addition to Spain, Kosovo was defeated 3-0 and Georgia 1-0. Sweden only conceded one goal in the previous three rounds. The offensive looks at a whopping six hits. Nine points are enough for second place at the moment. The leader from Spain has scored ten points in the account but has scored two more games. If the two games in hand were to be won, the place in the sun would be fixed for the time being. The lead over the pursuer from Kosovo is five points. Sweden even played one less game. Alexander Isak and Viktor Claesson are the best attackers in their own ranks with two goals each.
The only away game so far has been won by Kosovo with 3-0. Will a similar result be celebrated in Greece? The Swedes recently played a friendly match against Uzbekistan. This was also won by a narrow margin of 2:1.

The last test of strength between the two teams is far in the past and dates back to 2008. At that time, both teams faced each other in Group D at the European Championship. The Swedes prevailed in the end with 2:0. Although the odds show a slight tendency to win “Tre Kronor”, Greece should by no means be underestimated. In the course of our betting tip forecast, the guests are still to be rated as somewhat stronger. A mere tip on Sweden is too daring. For this reason, it is advisable to secure the draw.
