Competition: World Cup qualifying

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 1/1 @ 888sport

In a matchup that could see chances at both ends of the pitch on Wednesday night, Greece will host Sweden on Wednesday night for a Group B showdown.

Starting with the hosts, missing out on a chance over the weekend, Greece still find themselves in an uphill battle if they’re to secure their spot at next year’s World Cup finals. In their three Group B matchups this year, they have played out a stalemate in each of their trio of qualifying matchups, scoring three and conceding three in return. Managing to muster themselves just a points tally of three out of a possible nine and opening the midweek fixtures sat fourth in the Group B table, the former European champions know they could face a must-win showdown on Wednesday. As for their recent run of results, last seen having to settle for a 1-1 draw away at Kosovo, the midweek guests have managed to win just a pair of their last eight matchups across all formats. Likewise, it should also be noted that Greece have seen each of their previous seven straight contests finish with both teams finding the net.

As for the visitors, managing to extend on what has been a hugely impressive start to their qualifying run, Sweden appear to be sat in pole position to book a spot at next year’s finals. In their three Group B matchups so far, they have recorded a victory in each of those outings, scoring six and conceding just one in return. Managing to muster a maximum points tally of nine and still holding a pair of games in hand over the likes of leaders Spain, the Yellows already hold a five-point buffer from dropping out of the top-two. As for their recent run of results, already picking up back-to-back 2-1 wins against Spain and Uzbekistan, Sweden have lost just one of their last 11 matchups across all formats. Likewise, with each of their previous four contests finishing with both teams finding the net, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
