SWE vs FIN Dream11: The imprint of Roy Hodgson’s philosophy and influence remains firmly on both of these sides. Both sides have often played a regimented 4-4-2 system as both sides build up to a major tournament; the Swedes are used to this preparation whilst it is Finland’s first ever tournament qualification. The hosts have had their squad for the Euros selected for a while now with even the squad numbers being given out whilst Finland will be looking to narrow down their preliminary squad. Given the style of both sides, it is likely to be a low-scoring and experimental Euro warm-up; especially when considering that Janne Andersson’s first tournament in charge of Sweden at the 2018 World Cup was prepared for with two goalless draws against Denmark and Peru in the build-up.

Likely Winner:
An encounter likely to be closely fought out by two teams with a similar approach to the game – but with the hosts expected to take the impetus – may be light on goals. Indeed, with second-half substitutions and possible pre-tournament experimentation, this could turn into a disjointed affair, from which Sweden can claim the win courtesy of their greater final-third firepower. In our SWE vs FIN Today Match Prediction odds, we back for a 1-0 win for Sweden in this match.
