Sweden v Belgium: Back Red Devils to run riot against overrated Swedes

sweden v Belgium
Wednesday June 22, 20:00
Live on ITV4

After stinking the place out against Italy, Belgium turned on the style against the Republic of Ireland, and while some of you may still not trust them, I'm puzzled to see them as big as 1.86 to beat a poor Swedish side. Sweden seem to be overrated in every market in which they're placed, due to the presence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. 
That makes our betting approach pretty simple here. I think that there'll be goals in this game, but having tipped this to be Group E's top scoring match in my Group Preview at 5.00, there's no real need to get involved again. 
Italy may run riot against Ireland, but then Belgium may do something similar here. In terms of the Group betting portfolio, we're covered. 
They're can't be any big question about Belgian motivation for this. They'll want to finish strongly, even if they cannot now win the group, and certainly won't want to leave themselves vulnerable to a Swedish victory for second place. Belgium will do the job at a backable price. 
I certainly wouldn't put you off backing Over 2.5 Goals at 2.20, or even extending that to 3.5, andonce again the corners market is interesting. Belgium and the Republic of Ireland fell short by one corner, but aside from that, all of the matches in this Group have had at least 10 corners so far, and that outcome is by some distance the likeliest again, in what should be a lively game. 
Team news will be important here from a Belgian point of view, but I expect three of their back four at least to stay the same, and I'm going to stay with the theme of Sweden's defending of set pieces. 
It didn't work out for us in the Italy game, but having gone for the Juve duo in that match, I'll let the Spurs pair carry my money in this one. Toby Aldeweireld has scored only one international goal, but grabbed four for Tottenham last season, while Jan Vertonghen has six for Belgium and didn't score for Spurs in the last campaign. On balance, though, both are worth backing as anytime scorers here.
The other price that interests me is Belgium to win Euro 2016 at 15.00 - as I said before the tournament, I thought that they would drift, and now we have evidence to support the belief that this is a high class side that could win the thing. Now is the time to back them.
