Netherlands vs Sweden
I expect it to be one of the better group-stage matches of the 2026 World Cup.
Why it looks exciting:
- The Netherlands need a strong result after drawing 2โ2 with Japan in their opener. Ronald Koeman has already said his team must improve after mistakes in that match.
- Sweden come in full of confidence after a 5โ1 win over Tunisia. Their strike partnership of Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyรถkeres has been getting a lot of attention.
- Both teams have attacking talent, so there’s a good chance of goals. The Dutch have players such as Virgil van Dijk, Frenkie de Jong and Cody Gakpo, while Sweden’s forwards can trouble any defense.
Our prediction: Both Teams To Score-Yes
