Netherlands vs Sweden Preview and Team News
Netherlands Team News
The Netherlands did not get their FIFA World Cup campaign off to the ideal start, settling for a 2-2 draw against Japan in their opener. As a result, the remaining group-stage games have taken on added importance for the Oranje.
Despite controlling 60% of possession against Japan, the Dutch struggled to turn that advantage into meaningful attacking production. Their performance in the final third was truly underwhelming. The Oranje recorded a mere 10 shots, including six on target, resulting in a modest xG of 0.78.
One positive was their passing accuracy, which reached 88%, and they will look to build on that against Sweden. The Dutch were also dominant in the air, winning 75% of their aerial duels.
The Oranje have no injury concerns heading into this matchup.
Netherlands predicted lineup vs Sweden (4-3-3): Verbruggen; Van de Ven, van Dijk, van Hecke, Dumfries; Reijnders, de Jong, Gravenberch; Gakpo, Malen, Summerville.
Sweden Team News
Sweden crushed Tunisia 5-1 in their opening FIFA World Cup game. As a result, they enter this fixture brimming with confidence.
While Brighton’s defensive midfielder Yasin Ayari led the way with two goals, his success had a lot to do with his 100% shooting accuracy. He also completed 67% of his long-ball attempts.
Liverpool’s Alexander Isak also impressed with 82% passing accuracy, a goal, and two assists. His shooting accuracy, just like Ayari’s, was 100%. Arsenal’s Viktor Gyokeres recorded the most touches (11) in the opposition box and also found the back of the net.
The Blagult may be without Gabriel Gudmundsson, who is a doubt due to a muscular injury he picked up against Tunisia.
Sweden predicted lineup vs Netherlands (3-4-1-2): Nordfelt; Lindelof, Hien, Lagerbielke; Svensson, Ayari, Karlstrom, Bernhardsson; Nygren; Isak, Gyokeres.
Netherlands vs Sweden Prediction
- Pick: Netherlands to win
- Odds: -154 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Netherlands 2-1 Sweden
There is a huge gulf between the two teams in the FIFA rankings. While the Netherlands sit eighth, the Swedes are ranked 38th. Although Sweden were impressive in their opening match, the Oranje possess greater overall quality and a stronger track record at major tournaments.
The Dutch also have an edge in head-to-head meetings, as they have gone unbeaten in five of their last six encounters. They should secure all three points in the upcoming clash.
Netherlands vs Sweden Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total over 2.5 goals
- Odds: -114 (20Bet)
We expect the game to produce at least three goals. Both teams have top-quality attackers in their ranks. The Oranje can rely on players such as Cody Gakpo, Frenkie de Jong, and Donyell Malen, who combined for 41 goal contributions for their respective clubs in 2025-26.
Sweden are equally dangerous going forward. Isak and Gyokeres are both established Premier League stars, and the two were involved in 29 goals for their respective clubs this season.
With so much quality in the final third on both sides, goals should be on the menu in this matchup.
