My Prediction
Sweden by 3Got your calculators and stat sheets ready, folks? Good! Here's what we've got.
The Women's Euro pits Poland against Sweden, and it's like David and Goliath, but with less slingshots and more soccer balls. Sweden's last three games look like a cakewalk down victory lane, proving they can both score and defend effectively.
Leading the energetic Swedish force is goalkeeper Jennifer Falk with a robust rating of 7.30 and making 3 saves. Stepping up in the outfield, we see Filippa Angeldahl making waves, who's got an 8.40 rating and has netted one herself. Adding substance to the team is Johanna Rytting Kaneryd, hitting the mark with 80.6% pass accuracy. Our list wouldn't be complete without mentioning Nathalie Bjorn and Kosovare Asllani, equally boasting a 7.50 rating.
Poland, though, appears to have stumbled a little in their drawing board decisions, with a tough loss on their last outing. They are banking chits on their goalkeeper Kinga Szemik who's clocked in a 7.10 rating and made 4 saves. Ewa Pajor and Emilia Szymczak, sitting pretty at a 7.00 and 6.90 rating respectively, best be turning those attempted shots into goals for Poland to find some sunshine.
What does this mean? Well, my good people, it means Sweden have shown dominant form and Poland, while placing a good fight, needs to pull a rabbit out of their hats. After all, soccer is not all numbers and tactics, sometimes it's just about which way the wind blows. Given the data, my ol' noggin is tipping a Swedish win by a significant margin.
