Sweden v Korea Republic, 13:00 ITV

South Korea could only garner a single point at the group stages during 2014 and there’s little reason for them to be optimistic with this, the worst team they’ve had for some time. Tottenham’s Heung-min Son will be expected to lead the counter, but his support cast are not up to scratch while, by contrast, Sweden are more of a team effort these days in the absence of Ibrahimovic. After qualifying from a group containing both France and the Netherlands, before knocking Italy out in the play-offs, Janne Andersson will expect his side to overcome their limited opponents.

South Korea finished seven points behind Iran in the weaker of the two qualifying groups in Asia, losing to the likes of Qatar and China on the way, while defeats to European trio Northern Ireland, Poland and Bosnia since March suggests they don’t have what it takes to get something from this game. In fact, Korea have shipped 20 goals in seven encounters with UEFA teams that we had ranked in the world’s top 100 since 2016 and, with Sweden possessing six cleans sheets in their last nine, they should take this game, and quite possibly without conceding – the win to nil is 2/1 with Betway.
