Sweden Portugal betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Both teams are very different in terms of the game model. On the one hand, Portugal likes to have the ball and play in an organized way, while Sweden has a very direct style of play, especially through counterattacks. However, it is important to note that the moments of the teams are quite different. Having said that and also taking into account the return of Cristiano Ronaldo to the eleven, risking in favor of the triumph of Portugal is a good option.
