Overview
- The Group F match is scheduled for Saturday 20 June at NRG Stadium, Houston, kicking off at 6pm BST and shown live on BBC One.
- Sweden arrive top of the group after a 5-1 win over Tunisia that showcased Graham Potter’s 3-4-1-2 system and a two-striker pairing of Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres.
- Alexander Isak was fully fit and involved in three goals against Tunisia while Yasin Ayari scored twice from distance, making their form key to Sweden’s chances.
- The Netherlands drew 2-2 with Japan and showed defensive frailty and a lack of a consistent attacking focal point, and they replaced injured Jurrien Timber with Lutsharel Geertruida ahead of the match.
- Bookmakers list the Netherlands as favourites but previews and tipsters suggest a Sweden-or-draw bet holds value and highlight player-based wagers such as Gyokeres to score and Isak to score or assist as influential outcomes.
