The opening match vs Spain was a good example of how random the results can be, and how far from the expected goals xG. In fact the xG of the 0-0 game was bigger than in in the Holland-Ukraine game, which ended in 3-2!
Partly it was because of blamed Morata upfront, but also Sweden’s keeper had a hugely successful night. All in all, Sweden should had conceded at least two goals and their defense is far from as good as the result show. Their central defense managed to steer the Spain attack to the wings, and did win enough of the crosses but it is not a reliable strategy long-term.
However they were not completely helpless in the attack either, Isak and Berg had their chances, which ended in misery but there is danger in Sweden’s attack, at least when they get to counter which is not the case this afternoon in St Petersburg. Today also some ball possession and slow attacks need to be created, and this time we saw nothing of that. In the pretournament friendly against Finland there were some glimpses of class, but I am not convinced they can control the games and penetrate into the box.
It was an important point for Sweden, but it was physically a very tough game in hot Sevilla, and perhaps they used more strenght than needed and tiredness can be expected today for those who played all 90 minutes.
Kulusevski and Svanberg will return to the bench, full-back Lustig is a serious doubt.
Slovakia surprised in their opening game with the win and the result, but without the Polish red card it was unlikely to have come. Yet they showed several good sides, there was change of pressure altitude, pace and rhytm, and they were efficient of front of both boxes. Poland did win the xG though, but the result means that today they would be happy with a draw and I expect a defensive approach today with a 4-4-2 that surprised in the opener a a bit.
Skriniar showed his class and dangerousness in the opener, Hamsik will be a threat against anyone, left winger Mak can defeat his opponents on the left wing often enough to offer chances for Köln striker Duda and Hamsik.
If and when we can count out Kulusevski and Svanberg then the player market values will be the same, and personally I am fearful only of the Sociedad striker Isak who had a superb season and is soon in a bigger club.
1-1

对阵西班牙的首场比赛就是一个很好的例子，说明了结果有多随机，离预期的进球有多远。事实上，这场0-0的比赛比荷兰和乌克兰的比赛更精彩，那场比赛以3-2结束!
这在一定程度上要归咎于前锋莫拉塔，但瑞典门将也有一个非常成功的夜晚。总之，瑞典本应该至少丢两个球，他们的防守远不如结果显示的那么好。他们的中卫设法将西班牙的进攻转移到侧翼，并赢得了足够多的传中，但这不是一个长期可靠的策略。
然而，他们在进攻中也不是完全无助，伊萨克和伯格有机会，但最终以不幸告终，但瑞典的进攻有危险，至少当他们反击时，这不是今天下午在圣彼得堡的情况。今天我们也需要创造一些控球和慢速进攻，但这次我们什么都没看到。在赛前与芬兰的友谊赛中，我们看到了一些精彩的表现，但我不相信他们能控制比赛并突破禁区。
这对瑞典来说是重要的一分，但在炎热的塞维利亚，这是一场非常艰苦的比赛，也许他们使用了比需要更多的力量和疲劳可以预期，他们今天打了所有90分钟。
库卢舍夫斯基和思文凯将回到替补席，边后卫拉斯蒂格是一个严重的疑问。
斯洛伐克在首场比赛中出人意料地取得了胜利和结果，但如果没有波兰的红牌，这场比赛不太可能成功。但是他们表现出了一些好的方面，他们在压力高度、节奏和节奏上都有变化，他们在两个禁区的前面都很有效率。波兰确实赢得了xG，但结果意味着今天他们会很高兴能打成平局，我希望今天的防守方式是4-4-2，在揭幕战中有点让人吃惊。
斯克里尼亚尔在首场比赛中展示了他的水平和危险，哈姆希克对任何人都是一个威胁，左边锋马克可以经常击败他在左翼的对手，足以为Köln前锋杜达和哈姆希克提供机会。
如果库卢舍夫斯基和思文凯被排除在球员市场之外，那么球员市场的价值也会保持不变。就我个人而言，我担心的只是Sociedad前锋伊萨克，他在本赛季表现出色，很快就会加盟一家更大的俱乐部。
预测比分1:1。
