will continue their Euro 2024 qualifying tour in Estonia this weekend. Currently third in Group F, Sweden have suffered two defeats in their first three games and are only two points ahead of the hosts. They will face a double challenge with a crucial match against Austria in addition to Estonia.
Despite their 5-0 victory against Azerbaijan in March, Sweden's road to the Euros has not been smooth so far. They were unfortunate to fall short in Qatar's 2022 World Cup qualifying campaign, were beaten in their opening Euro qualifier, and then lost 0-2 to Group F leaders Austria in June. Now, three months on, Sweden will be hoping to take on the challenge with a new look, and will need to close the four-point gap to the leading teams as quickly as possible - after all, only the top two finishers can secure a direct ticket to Germany.
The pressure is building on Sweden to potentially miss out on Europe's highest level of international competition for the first time since Euro 1996. And they have already lost their chances of advancing through the play-offs due to their lackluster performances in the recent Europa League. Moreover, the team that had reached the last eight of the 2018 World Cup has now taken a significant dip, as they have been relegated to the **th* division with just four points in the B division. Now, they need to get their act together and fix this problem right away, and it's imperative that they get a clean sheet in Estonia before next week's crucial game against Austria.
Despite Estonia getting just one point from their first two games in Group F, they couldn't add to the **scores** they scored in their last game against Belgium. The Red Devils left Tallinn with three goals and three points, which left Thomas Haberli's side in a difficult position, only not being relegated to the bottom of the group thanks to a better goal difference than Azerbaijan.
Estonia had their chances to turn the tables when they led Austria in the first game but were turned around late on, and also when they led against Azerbaijan but ended up 1-1. Despite this, they have only lost three of their last 12 matches, winning five, which certainly shows that they are making some progress.
However, those wins came against the likes of Malta and San Marino, and it will take a lot more than that to keep a strong team like Sweden at bay for 90 minutes.
Regarding the prediction for this match, I think Sweden is likely to beat Estonia by a score of 3-0. In the past matches, Sweden has a record of 16 wins and 1 draw against Estonia, and although they didn't have the best start in Group F, they now have enough strength to utilize their attacking power in Tallinn. While Sweden still have doubts about their tactical setup and personnel choices, they are smart enough to beat Estonia.
