Football prediction Sweden vs Estonia: Bullying the weak

Latest Sweden vs Estonia team information

In this weekend's match, Sweden and Estonia will have notable adjustments to their lineups.

With winger Anthony Elanga substituted at half-time against Azerbaijan on Thursday, coach Janne Andersson is likely to start Ken Sema in Elanga's place. Sema, known for his attacking and defensive abilities, could provide the team with much-needed creativity.

In addition, with Robin Olsen currently nursing an injury, Stoke City goalkeeper Andreas Johansson is likely to continue in goal, rather than Jacob Widell Zetterstrom. Tottenham's Lucas Bergvall and Ipswich Town's Jens-Lys Cajuste, who came off the bench in the previous game, could also be brought into the starting line-up by Andersson to bolster his midfield and attack.

For Estonia, the team will continue to be without centre-back Maksim Paskotsi, who suffered an injury while playing for Grasshopper in August. Coach Thomas Häberli may make some changes to his attack after the team failed to score against Slovakia. Ioan Yakovlev, a player capable of making a difference from the bench, could be given a chance to start to strengthen the team's attacking capabilities.

With these changes, both Sweden and Estonia are looking to optimize their squads to get the best results in this match. Sweden will hope to maintain their positive form and increase their attacking power, while Estonia will need to adjust their squad to find scoring opportunities and improve their performance in the tournament.

Latest football commentary Sweden vs Estonia

After starting his tenure with three defeats in four friendlies, Jon Dahl Tomasson made an impressive start to his reign as Sweden boss with a 3-1 win over Azerbaijan on Thursday night.

It was Tomasson's first competitive win and the start of Sweden's 2024-25 UEFA Nations League campaign. Tomasson's side put in an impressive performance, with two goals from Alexander Isak and one from Viktor Gyokeres helping his side overcome Fernando Santos' Azerbaijan.

Although Sweden struggled to find their best form in Baku and almost went behind just before half-time, goalkeeper Viktor Johansson produced a superb performance to save Ramil Sheydaev's penalty. Johansson, now playing in the Championship with Stoke City, continued to prove his worth between the sticks.

With their notable attacking talent back, Sweden will be looking to avoid a repeat of their poor performance in their last home game, when they hosted Serbia at the Friends Arena. That match, Serbia won 3-0 thanks to goals from Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Aleksandar Mitrovic and Dusan Tadic. However, under interim coach Daniel Backstrom, Sweden did manage a 2-1 win over Estonia, with goals from Sebastian Nanasi and Isaac Kiese Thelin.

For Estonia, a difficult opening game against Slovakia left them with a tough task ahead. Thomas Hæberli’s side lost 1-0 in Tallinn, with the only goal coming from Tomas Suslov, a winger now playing for Hellas Verona in Italy. Estonia only created 0.16 expected goals and had 39% possession, showing they struggled to impose their style of play.

Estonia face a tough test when they visit Strawberry Arena this weekend. After a 5-1 defeat to Poland in the Euro 2024 playoff semi-final in March, Jurgen Henn's side, newly appointed national team manager, will be looking to maintain their place in League C. With attacking talent such as Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres, Sweden are likely to produce a positive result, while Estonia could struggle away from home.

Based on Estonia's current form and problems, it's hard to see the visitors producing a positive result at Strawberry Arena this weekend. Sweden, with a strong squad and home advantage, will be looking for a win to solidify their place in the group.
