Home / Football / Ibrahimovic Big Danger To Levein And Scotland

Sweden v Scotland Soccer Friendly Betting Preview

Scotland take on Sweden in Stockholm this week in an International Friendly that will help manager, Craig Levein’s preparation for their difficult Euro 2012 campaign, which is due to get underway next month. However the Bookmakers see this match as a win for Sweden, with Ladbrokes offering best odds of 4/5 while they give the ‘Scots’ only a 7/2 chance of victory with the draw at 5/2.

Swedish coach, Erik Hamren is taking the match very seriously and is delighted to have Barcelona striker, Zlatan Ibrahimovic back in the side, after his premature retirement from International football. He will undoubtedly be a problem for a depleted Scottish defence which is why he is the 7/2 favourite with Ladbrokes.com to be the opening goalscorer on the night.

Levein is also pleased to have goalkeeper Allan McGregor back ‘between the sticks’ after being left out following the ‘Boozegate’ affair, however, Levein will be missing several key players from his ideal side meaning that the initiative is all with the ‘Swedes’. Nonetheless, Levein is not short of belief in the players that he will have at his disposal and knows that they are capable of putting up a strong performance, if they can do that, then in Levein’s book, it will mean more than the result.

The probability is that Sweden will win this game, they certainly look the stronger side on paper and with home advantage the odds are stacked in their favour. However, Scotland are often a ‘tough nut to crack’ and with a determined and well respected new boss at the helm, they are more than capable of keeping the score down to a respectable one. We suggest the following betting options for the Correct Score Market:

1-0 win Sweden – 11/2
2-0 win Sweden – 6/1
2-1 win Sweden – 7/1
3-2 win Sweden – 28/1
3-1 win Sweden – 40/1
