Tips:
Leaders of Group A with three points ahead of Sweden, the Blues could virtually validate their presence at the next World Cup if successful in Solna. The Vikings will not try to avoid at least the defeat in order to keep all their chances to finish among the best seconds. Winners of Portugal (2-3) in friendly three months ago, the Swedes seem to have thoroughly digested the after Ibrahimovic. They will have the opportunity to prove it on their lands, facing a team from France currently in the top 3 world. Impressive mastery in front of Paraguay (5-0) last week, Griezmann, Giroud and others will be as effective in the Friends Arena?The Blues have conceded the draw in 3 of their last 7 trips in the World Cup qualifiers.
The Swedes have already shared the points before their public against the Netherlands (1-1) in this group A.
4 of the last 10 games played by the Swedes on their ground have closed on a parity score.
Sweden had done better than holding the shock in France (defeat 2-1) in the first leg. A hooked return can not be ruled out.
The French team came out a bit miraculously in the Netherlands (0-1), after a very dull match.We could very well attend a status quo at the top of this group A. Always in a position of strength to finish among the best seconds, the Swedes will not take all the risks against the Blues. If a victory of the French team would almost be synonymous with qualification for the World Cup, sharing points would also be a good operation for Deschamps and his band. The draw is to be tried.
