Match description

This is the third draw worth backing. Netherlands, after a 2:2 with Japan, showed offensive potency but also issues controlling the game. Sweden, after 5:1 vs Tunisia, is high on confidence and does not have to force the issue, as one point would be very good. The balance of power after the first round has shifted this match strongly toward the X. Status: BET
