Bosnia-Herzegovina v Sweden Prediction: Gyokeres to help land 23/1 treble

Sweden are top of the section with two wins from two matches but they face a tricky assignment in Zenica on Friday when they take on Bosnia-Herzegovina. 

The home side have taken four points from their opening two matches so could leapfrog the Swedes into top spot with a victory.

The sides have met only once before with Sweden running out 4-2 winners in 2010, and another lively encounter can be expected when they meet again this week.

Bosnia-Herzegovina v Sweden Tips Summary

Best Bet - Sweden to win & both teams score @ 3/1
Alternative Bet - Viktor Gyokeres to score at any time @ 11/8
Bet Builder - Sweden to win, over 3 goals & Viktor Gyokeres to score last @ 23/1

Bosnia-Herzegovina v Sweden Prediction

Best Bet: Sweden to win & both teams score @ 3/1

Sweden remain a work in progress under Graham Potter but they look to be steadily improving and they have made a great start to this Nations League with two wins from two matches.

The Swedes have brushed off a disappointing World Cup which saw them crash out at the last-32 stage, albeit to France, and they have won five of their past 10 matches, while losing just three times.

A quality squad contains the likes of Premier League stars Viktor Gyokeres, Alexander Isak and Yasin Ayari, and although Isak misses out through injury, Sweden may prove too hot for Bosnia-Herzegovina to handle.

Goals have been easy to come by for Potter's side, who have bagged five goals across their two Nations League matches, but they have struggled to shut out opponents, so a bet on Sweden to win with both teams scoring looks the way to go.

Both teams have hit the net in all four of these sides' combined matches in this group, while Bosnia-Herzegovina put four past Romania on Monday, so they look in good goalscoring form.

They will fancy their chances of scoring against a Sweden side who have not kept a clean sheet in their last 17 outings, and a lively encounter looks likely in Zenica.

Alternative Bet: Viktor Gyokeres to score at any time @ 11/8

Gyokeres has scored in both of Sweden's Nations League matches and he should be backed to maintain his hot streak.

The Arsenal man has yet to score for the Gunners this term but he rarely lets down his country and he will shoulder the responsibility for goals with strike partner Alexander Isak ruled out through injury.

Gyokeres has scored 23 goals in 39 matches for his country and the fact he is likely to take penalties will help his chances of hitting the net against Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Bosnia-Herzegovina v Sweden Bet Builder Tip

  • Sweden to win

  • Over 3 goals

  • Viktor Gyokeres to score last

    Pays 23/1

It is two wins from two for Potter's side and they are fancied to keep their winning start going while strengthening their position at the top of Group B4.

Neither side looks particularly strong in defence, so there promises to be plenty of goals in this contest.

Bosnia-Herzegovina should be full of beans after putting four goals past Romania on Monday, while Sweden have not kept a clean sheet in their last 17 matches.

Viktor Gyokeres has scored the last goal in both of Sweden's Nations League matches and he is fancied to round things off again in Zenica.
