Sweden at the 18th place in the FIFA rankings will lock horns with Finland at the 54th position on the same table for a friendly match at Solna on Saturday.
With their slight edge over the visitor in the rankings, the host is likely to be the favorites to win in the fixture.
The host will come into the game on the back of a three-game winning streak including the World Cup qualifiers in 2021.
However, they will be confident after the 1-0 win at home against the likes of Estonia in the last International Friendly fixture in March this year.
On the other hand, as the rankings suggest, Finland has been winless for the past four matches in their overall schedule.
This includes two losses and two draws in it across all major competitions. They will visit on the back of a 3-2 loss on the road against Switzerland last time out in a friendly.
Sweden will have players like Emil Forsberg, Alexander Isak, and Dejan Kulusevski to lead the attacks. The host will lack the assistance of Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the fixture though.
Still, they are really dangerous for the traveling side in the middle along with their ground advantage in the game. Hence, the home win in full-time will probably come in handy to yield decent returns.
On the other hand, Finland too, has a strong squad for the game on Saturday. Lukas Hradecky, Jere Uronen, Tim Sparv, and Norwich City striker Teemu Pukki have been included by manager Markku Kanerva for the friendly.
Thus, we can expect an exciting game, which is why the tip for BTTS will probably be the best bet for the punters.
