Wales begin their preparation for their Euro 2012 campaign with a friendly match at the Liberty Stadium against Sweden. Sadly for Wales they will be without the very talented, Aaron Ramsay for the match after he sustained a double fracture of the leg following a horrendous tackle made on him at the weekend while playing for Arsenal against Stoke.
Welsh boss, John Toshack who no longer has the silky skills of Ryan Giggs to call upon, has also not included his most experienced striker, Craig Bellamy for the match, leaving his side lacking key components and strike power.
That is why Sweden have been made even money favourites to win the match, with Wales 13/5 and the draw a 2/1 option – Odds courtesy of VC Bet
Toshack has recalled Fulham’s Simon Davies back into the squad and is likely to make Aston Villa’s, James Collins captain for this match in the absence of Bellamy. The impressive young strikers, Simon Church and Ched Evans are likely to start up front as they did in Wales last game against Scotland.

Wales of course have been drawn in the same Euro 2012 qualification group a England and will want to get as much preparation work done as possible before that tournament begins in earnest towards the end of the year. This game against Sweden is therefore regarded as an important stepping stone on their Euro 2012 overall strategy.
Sweden are also in the process of rebuilding after they, like Wales were eliminated from the World Cup at the group stages. They too however, have been drawn in a tough Euro 2012 qualification group and as such will regard this match just as importantly as the Welsh do. They have included in their squad, Marcus Berg, who plays for Hamburg in the Bundesliga, who, on his day is a real goal threat. Berg in fact is favourite to score the opening goal in this match with odds of 11/2 with Victor Chandler. Favourite for Wales to score first is Robert Earnshaw at 6/1 and who is likely to start the match on the bench.
