European Championship Group C is wide open after the opening two games ended in a draw.
Sweden held defending champions Netherlands to a 1-1 draw while Switzerland and Portugal ended 2-2.
The Blue and Yellow won both previous meetings to nil and another at 1.95 is our opening Sweden Women vs Switzerland Women prediction.
Sweden Odds
Jonna Andersson gave Sweden, ranked second in the world, a half-time lead against the Dutch, who lost goalkeeper Sari van Veenendaal and Aniek Nouwen through injury.
But Jill Roord responded early in the second period and wasted a glorious chance for a winner in the closing stages in front of an impressive crowd of 21,342 at Bramall Lane.
Coach Peter Gerhardsson was unsure whether the result represented two points lost or one gained after his side’s first-half dominance.
“Somewhere between,” he told uefa.com. “The feelings are always disappointment when you don’t win.”
The inaugural winners of the European Championship in 1984, Sweden are one of the best teams in the game.
On three occasions they have been beaten finalists in this tournament and they have reached the semi-finals a further four times, with two last-eight exits included.
Looking at the Sweden Women vs Switzerland Women odds, a Sweden win by at least two goals is appealing at 3.00.
Switzerland Odds
Switzerland, who had skipper Lia Walti winning her 100th cap, got off to a dream start against Portugal.
Coumba Sow and Rahel Kiwic struck inside the opening five minutes but Portugal, only at the finals as a result of Russia’s expulsion, hit back through Diana Gomes and Jessica Silva.
Coach Nils Nielsen, speaking to SRF, said: “One point is better than none – it means we’re still in the tournament.
“But it also means we need to get points in the next two matches in order to proceed. But we also need to play better for that.”
Nielsen led Denmark to the Euro 2017 final, losing to the Netherlands, but has found things a lot more challenging with Switzerland.
Their form heading into the competition did not make good reading, losing four of their six games in 2022 and failing to score in four in total.
