This is the
last match of the group stage in Euro 2012 where Group D members will compete
to fix their positions in the quarter final. When on one side, England and
Ukraine are competing to get into the next round, Sweden and France are
encountering in the second match which will be played at Olympic Stadium, Kiev
on June 19, 2012. The match will commence at the same time with the other match
at 18.45 hours GMT.
Tucked in the last position of Group D, Sweden is already out of the tournament with no points in pocket. In both the group stage matches played so far against England and Ukraine, they have lost the matches. So when they are already smashed down in the earth with no hopes alive for the next round, they are looking for getting a win or a draw in this match against France to leave this major tournament with some points in hand. However, they are well aware that France is a very strong and powerful opponent to defy. Their last official encounter was in 1992 when the match was finished with a 1-1 draw score line. In 2008, they once met but that was a friendly match where the Sweden managed a 2-3 match.
France on the other hand is already on the way to fix a match in the quarter final as it is leading the group with 4 points in hand. Facing a tough challenge from England in the first match, France bounced back with their full spirit and potential in the second match against Ukraine where they maintained a uniform dominance over the entire match to end the match in 2-0. Compared to these two opponents, Sweden is a weaken opponent to tackle but French squad is not ready to relax their consistency level because this one win is the key to open the door for the next round. Coach Laurent Blanc is quite hopeful with his team and Benzema is his trump card in this match. A French win is much needed for Blanc to see his team as Group D topper and qualified for the last eight because since World Cup 2006, France failed to get qualified in the playoffs of any major tournament.
Although French squad is likely to defeat or make a draw against Swedish team, bookie Bet365 is offering 8/13 for French win, 5 for a match in Swedish favor and 11/4 for a draw score line.
