Match Prediction: Sweden (Women) vs. England (Women)
The teams have already met during the qualification for this tournament, with Sweden avoiding defeat in both matches. Overall, in official games against England in the 21st century, Sweden has lost just once in eight encounters. Additionally, Peter Gerhardsson's team is unbeaten in their last 14 official games, and similar outcomes have been recorded in 14 of their previous 18 European Championship matches.
England's form raises questions. Recently, in the Nations League, the team unexpectedly lost to Belgium (2-3), then to Spain (1-2), and started this Euro with a defeat against France (1-2). Furthermore, the English team struggles against opponents with organized defenses, and Sweden has conceded only one goal in this tournament.
Sweden will likely remember the painful semi-final loss to England in the last Euros (0-4) and will be motivated for revenge. Given their consistent performance and more confident group stage display, the prediction is "Sweden to win or draw".
