Netherlands vs Sweden Main Match Info

Netherlands vs Sweden Moneyline Prediction

The Netherlands came within minutes of opening their 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign with a victory against Japan but conceded a late equaliser and had to settle for a 2-2 draw.

Still, the Oranje had some good moments and are currently riding a 13-game undefeated streak in World Cup matches (excluding penalties: W8, D5). Their confidence should be high heading into this fixture.

Sweden, however, aren’t an easy opponent. Led by the imposing attacking duo of Alexander Isak and Victor Gyokeres, Graham Potter’s men thrashed Tunisia 5-1 and sit at the top of Group F.

While the Swedes took full advantage of a favourable matchup, the upcoming clash represents a significant step up in quality. They’ve defeated the Netherlands just once in their seven meetings this century (SWE: W1, D3, L3).

The Dutch should’ve won against Japan. If they tighten things up defensively, they should have little trouble beating Sweden. Meanwhile, the Scandinavian side face a far greater challenge than they did in their opener.

It remains to be seen whether they’ll be able to adjust, especially after winning just three of their last 10 games overall (W3, D2, L5). With that in mind, the Dutch appear likely to come out on top.

Netherlands vs Sweden Player Prop

It would be a stretch to say Gakpo was a non-factor in the 2-2 draw against Japan, but the Liverpool winger didn’t find the back of the net. He has a good chance of doing so in this one.

Sweden’s three-man backline represents a favourable matchup from a tactical perspective. Gakpo also boasts an excellent international scoring record, with 21 goals in 51 senior caps.

Netherlands vs Sweden Same Game Parlay

The Netherlands have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last five internationals, while Sweden have gone 12 straight matches without one. With both teams playing an attacking style and plenty of game-changing talent in the final third, both sides look likely to score.

That also strengthens the case for over 2.5 goals. That line has been hit in both openers, as the Netherlands vs Japan clash produced four goals and Sweden vs Tunisia had six.

Moreover, seven of the Oranje’s last 10 encounters have seen three or more goals, while six of the Swedes’ last seven, including their two pre-World Cup friendlies, have also gone over that mark.

The corner market is another appealing angle. The Netherlands generate plenty of width through their traditional wingers, while Sweden can exploit the flanks with full-backs Daniel Svensson and Gabriel Gudmundsson.

The Dutch earned five corners against Japan, and their opponents finished with four against Tunisia, making three or more corners for each side a realistic expectation.

Netherlands vs Sweden Team News

Netherlands Team News 

The Netherlands didn’t suffer any injuries in their 2-2 draw against Japan, so Ronald Koeman is unlikely to make sweeping changes. The lone potential change could come in attack, where Memphis Depay is pushing for a start.

Crysencio Summerville, meanwhile, should remain in the starting lineup after bagging a goal and impressing against the Samurai Blue.

Sweden Team News

Sweden fielded a very strong lineup in the win over Tunisia, but Graham Potter could make a couple of tactical changes. Svensson and Anthony Elanga are both candidates to get into the starting XI.

The only injury concern is Gudmundsson, who left the Tunisia win with a muscular issue. However, he’s expected to be fit enough to retain his place at left wing-back.
