Euro 2012
2012-06-19 - Sweden vs France
A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Match Preview :
Sweden who have lost both their games so far have nothing left but pride to play as they cannot progress further in the tournament when they take on France in their final match of Group D.
France currently head the group and Les Bleus are aware that a draw will be enough to see them earn a place in the knockout stages. France boss Laurent Blanc has asked his team not to take their eyes off the ball as taking Sweden too lightly could see them paying the price for it.
Blanc added that even though Sweden will not qualify to the next round, they would still want to go out and win this match and it would be foolish to under-estimate them.
France are unbeaten in their last 23 matches and their only doubt is Newcastle midfielder Yohan Cabaye. Les Blues beat Ukraine 2-0 in their last match, which was surprisingly their first win at a tournament since their semi-final World Cup win in 2006.
Meanwhile, Erik Hamren, the Sweden coach, admitted his side had failed to display their best form capable of in the tournament.
However, he wants them to leave Euro 2012 with their heads held high and with no pressure on them to win against France, he wants them to go all out for a win here. Their casualties are striker Johan Elmander (foot) who will not feature and midfielder Rasmus Elm (leg) is rated doubtful.
