Netherlands vs Sweden Prediction (20.06.2026)

The Netherlands did not manage to start the World Cup in the best way and drew 2:2 with Japan in their opener. They showed some hesitations in their recent friendlies before the tournament as well. We can say that the "Oranje" are not convincing enough when it comes to more serious matches and opponents. Their team also seems not to be at the level of some of the previous generations and squads.

On the other hand, Sweden has been showing a good face in recent months. They demonstrated this in their first match of the tournament, where they crushed Tunisia 5:1. Although this was Sweden's 12th consecutive match without a clean sheet, the team showcased offensive power again, making it their fifth consecutive match with over 2.5 goals and goals in both nets. The last seven matches of Sweden also ended with both teams scoring.

Goals in both nets seem like a quite reasonable option, especially after the first matches of both teams, as well as their recent performances in general. Sweden is showing improvement, while the Netherlands seems to have room for improvement in their performance, so I wouldn't be surprised if they also face difficulties against the Swedes.
