It’s England meet Sweden at Bramall Lane, Sheffield in the UEFA Women’s EURO 2022 semi-finals on Tuesday 26 July.
Possible Starting line-ups:
England: Earps; Bronze, Bright, Williamson, Daly; Stanway, Walsh; Mead, Kirby, Hemp; White
Sweden: Lindahl; Eriksson, Sembrant, Ilestedt; Rubensson, Björn, Angeldahl, Glas; Rolfö, Blackstenius, Asllani
First team: England (Last 10: 10-0-0 Score 45 goals and lose 3 goals)
Having already attracted 157,497 fans to their four sell-out games, including the highest competition and quarter-final crowds in Women’s EURO history, the benchmark for the last four is also in peril as hosts England continue to whip up excitement.
There is one hurdle left ahead of a potential dream date at Wembley on Sunday, and the Lionesses have already hit 16 goals – a total topped only by the 21 managed by Germany in 2009 – while showing in their dramatic comeback against Spain that they are not just stylish frontrunners.
Spain were a stubborn challenge for England in the last eight, playing with urgency and finesse, pressing high. The Lionesses threw everything at them after going behind and savvy substitutes and a few tactical tweaks saw them home. The relief at the final whistle was telling. They had yet to have a character test; this was it and they just about passed. Sweden may well offer another one.
Second team: Sweden (Last 10: 8-2-0 Score 36 goals and lose 5 goals)
Sweden, however, are in the tournament groove that took them to 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup bronze and 2021 Olympic silver.
They beat England for that 2019 bronze and their only loss to the Lionesses in seven competitive meetings was 1-0 in the second leg of the 1984 final in Luton, when Sweden then prevailed on penalties to clinch the inaugural European title, which they hope to emulate on Sunday in front of a somewhat larger crowd at Wembley.
They also defeated England in their only previous semi-final head-to-head, in extra time back in 1987.
Despite not yet reaching their top level, Sweden have got the job done and – which in itself shows their strength. So far, Sweden have been the favourites in each of their games and have had to break down compact defences.
There is big pressure on Sweden to go on and reach the showpiece, especially back home, but perhaps it’s England who are the favourites now.
The hosts will not be set up simply to defend, which could help the Blågult find the spaces they need and finally click. Maybe a top-quality opponent in England is exactly what Sweden require to find their highest gear.
History: (England had only 1 win in their last 10 battles)
England 1-2 Sweden 06/07/2019 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup
England 0-2 Sweden 11/11/2018 Friendly Match
England 0-0 Sweden 25/01/2017 Friendly Match
England 4-0 Sweden 03/08/2014 Friendly Match
Sweden 4-1 England 05/07/2013 Friendly Match
Sweden 1-1 England 01/09/2009 2009 Women’s EURO
The winners advance to Sunday’s final at Wembley Stadium, where a is expected. England lost their two previous finals, including in 1984 when Sweden were the victors, the Blågult’s sole success in four showpieces.
Considering it’s a crucial semi-final, though the England team has their home crowd to cheer for them, they still have a poor record against Sweden. In short, it is good to pick Sweden will not lose. Sweden +0.5 is the choice.
ClevPicks Prediction: Sweden +0.5
