Serbia: Scoring Goals for Fun
Serbia qualified for the 2022 World Cup after Aleksandar Mitrovic came off the bench to score a dramatic injury-time winner to stun Portugal. It’s been quite the year for Serbia. It was only a year ago that Serbia suffered the heartbreak of losing to Scotland on penalties and caused them to miss out on the European Championships.
Just 12 months later, Serbia finished Group A unbeaten and produced a dramatic win against the toughest opponent in the group in their backyard. They are one of the teams who will fight till the last drop of energy and we will always include them in our soccer picks and parlays.
Dragan Stojkovic’s men aim to give fans yet another reason for celebration, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. The Serbia World Cup 2022 squad is expected to be named in October, and the selection for September’s Nations League matches offers a hint at who could be on the plane.
They have one of the best attacking lines in Europe with Juventus’ Dusan Vlahovic and Fulham’s Mitrovic. Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Dusan Tadic and Luka Jovic are shining this season in their domestic leagues and are also expected to be in the starting lineup. On the wing, they have Filip Kostic, the Europa League player of the season who moved from Eintracht Frankfurt to Juventus in the summer transfer window.
Sweden: Disappointing Year
Since November 2021, Sweden has lost six of eight games across all competitions. After a decent Euro 2020, when they won their group but lost to Ukraine in the knockout stages, Sweden failed to qualify for the World Cup. They lost to Poland in the playoffs, and kicked off their Nations League campaign with three defeats in four matches.
They are sitting just one point above bottom-placed Slovenia, picking up just three wins in four games and allowing six goals in the process. Isak Hien and Patrik Walemark could make their Sweden debuts in Saturday’s clash while Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Albin Ekdal, Hjalmar Ekdall and Emil Krafth miss out for the visiting side.
Alexander Isak, who moved from Real Sociedad to Newcastle this summer in a $59m deal, is expected to lead the attacking line for Sweden while Tottenham’s Dejan Kulusevski is expected to be the brain at midfield. If you’re betting online, Sweden are not the team to be backed during this period as they have no interest in this competition.
