Russia vs. Sweden Soccer Betting Prediction

[Shame About Ray]

Euro 2008 – Soccer Betting - Russia vs. Sweden

This is a huge game as Russia needs a victory against the Swedes in order to advance to the quarterfinals. The Swedes merely need a draw. That’s a huge soccer betting advantage for Sweden who could play a more defensive game then the Russians. The Russians do get their best striker back in Andrei Arshavin. Coming off of a suspension, Arshavin’s return couldn’t have been better timed.



The Russians will need him in order to beat the Swedes who will most likely work hard for a draw in this game. Arshavin sat out the Russians first two games in match-play but no doubt will be ready to put his best foot forward in order to get Russia into the second round.

Here are the BetUS online Euro betting odds for this match.

Russia pk + 110 + 170 O 2 ½ + 150 O 1 - 115
U 1 - 105

Sweden pk - 130 + 145 U 2 ½ - 170 O 1 - 120
U 1 Ev

Draw + 230

If there is any game where a draw seems likely, it is this one. Sweden will play for a draw for two reasons. First, it makes sense. They can advance to the second round with a draw. That should be the goal. Not beating the Russians straight-up.

Second, Sweden is a woeful offensive team. For BetUS online sportsbook fans, this team is one of the worst in Euro 2008 in terms of scoring goals. They’ve gotten only two in two matches so far in this tournament. Neither was all that spectacular.

That makes me wonder exactly who well they will do against a Russian team that no doubt will throw all caution to the wind.

Andrei Arshavin could make all the difference. He can score from anywhere on the pitch and because he couldn’t play in the first two matches of this tournament, I expect he will come out with something to prove.

This sets up as a classic battle of wills where the Swedes no doubt will try to maintain control while the Russians will keep pushing until the Swedes break.

Because I do believe that Arshavin is going to have a huge match, I have no problem taking the Russians to win this outright at BetUS Euro wagering odds of + 170.

That’s where my money will be. I am going to make an online bet on the Russians to upset the Swedes at online wagering odds of + 170.
