🔥 Our Hot tip

BTTS - yes

Both teams have scored in two of the last three meetings between Sweden and England

Friday's results mean that there is only one qualifying place left to play for in League A Group 3 with France claiming their place in Switzerland with a game to spare.

Sweden and England are the two sides battling to join France at next summer's European Championship and it's the Lionesses that sit in pole position.

Three points separate Sweden from second-placed England so the Scandinavians simply have to win at home on Tuesday night to finish ahead of Sarina Wiegman's side.

Sweden preview: Only three points will do against England

Sweden would have been expecting a tough evening against the top-performing side in League A Group 3 as they made the trip to France on Friday.

The home side took the lead in the 31st minute and led at the break but Sweden got back onto level terms just four minutes after the restart via Josefine Rybrink.

Despite their best efforts, Sweden were unable to build upon their excellent start to the second half and in the 74th minute France scored again to win the match 2-1.

Predicted lineup: Mušović (GK), Sembrant, Kullberg, Andersson, Rybrink, Rytting Kaneryd, Bennison, Jakobsson, Rolfö, Olme & Ijeh

England preview: Avoid defeat and the Lionesses qualify

On Friday, England face a Republic of Ireland side that had lost their opening four qualifying matches so the nation expected another three points for the Lionesses.

Alessia Russo fired England in front after just five minutes and a penalty shortly before the hour mark allowed Georgia Stanway to double the hosts' advantage.

The Republic of Ireland did manage to pull a goal back in stoppage time to set-up a slightly nervy end to the game but England held on to secure a massive three points and take one step closer to qualification.

Predicted lineup: Hampton (GK), Greenwood, Williamson, Carter, Le Tissier, Walsh, Stanway, Mead, Russo, Hemp & Park

Russo, 25, has scored three times for her country in the Euro 2025 qualifiers and has netted a total of 20 goals in her 41 caps for England.

Russo top scores for England in the Euro 2025 qualifiers

We've backed this game to end in a 1-1 draw just as it did when the two sides met in England back in April and we're backing Russo to score the goal that will see England book their place in Switzerland next summer.
