Our Slovenia vs Sweden Prediction
Slovenia got through to the main round with three wins from three, but they were given a major scare in their second match against Switzerland, where they had to pull off a big comeback to keep their winning record intact.
Sweden rarely looked troubled in their group, and they will be eager to step out in this match as they will be looking to exact their revenge for losing to this opponent back at the Paris Olympics. Our Slovenia vs Sweden prediction is Sweden -3.5.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
