Sweden v Portugal Prediction, Preview and Betting Tips

Sweden v Portugal betting tips: Sweden need to overcome a 1-0 deficit against Portugal to qualify for World Cup 2014 and we have free football tips.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s late goal in Portugal on Friday gave them a slender advantage going into the second leg in Sweden but the job is certainly not done for Portugal who will be looking to keep Zlatan Ibrahimovic quiet in his own back yard.

Sweden lost their last group stage match 5-3 at home to Germany but aside from that won six times including three at home. Portugal struggled at the start of qualifying before finding their feet in the final five matches meaning they had to settle for a play-off place after finishing behind Russia.

Portugal’s win over Sweden was their fifth in six matches and their fourth clean sheet in that time however their away record does not make for such good reading, they conceded three in Isreal when drawing 3-3 and twice in Northern Ireland before sendings off and a Ronaldo hat-trick rescued them.

In the head to head between these sides Portugal hold the upper hand, winning five and drawing three of the last eight meetings and Ronaldo got the better of Ibrahimovic in the first leg. Ronaldo had seven shots while Ibrahimovic only managed one. The Swede also failed to touch the ball in the Portugal penalty area in the first leg.

In the betting for the match Sweden are 7/4 (Paddy Power) the draw is 12/5 (Bet365) and Portugal are 9/5 (Betfred).

Ronaldo will once again be the main threat for Portugal and given that Sweden shipped five in their final group game against Germany it is hard to ignore the 7/5 (Bet365) that Ronaldo scores in the match.

Portugal have only kept one clean sheet in their last five competitive away matches so we are backing both teams to score here at odds of 10/11 (William Hill) and given Sweden’s poor record against Portugal also go with both teams to score and Portugal to win at a best price 11/2 with Coral.
