Sweden Vs Ireland Prediction 22/03/2012


Sweden - Republic of Ireland 1.57 - 7.74

It is not often I get surprised, but these odds baffle me! Both sides are equally poor, I can promise you that and then comes the inevitable question, how much of a difference will Ibrahimovic make in a close game like this one? Can he do it on his own? Not likely, but he more or less has to. Elmander is still injured, Toivonen is just back from a troublesome injury, Hysen will not do, in my opinion, and three important Swedish offensive players have just started their season in Russia. Rusty for sure. Yes, and the Fulham winger Kacaniklic is nowadays playing in the Championship, for Burnley. The Swedish defence? Constantly leaking and that is a fact.
Eire are no good, but all their players, Robbie Keane aside, have been playing regular football since August and no rustiness there. A McGeady, rather important winger, will miss this game.
Who will join R Keane upfront? Jon Walters, I hope, or Shane Long. This match can go either way and consequently the away win has to be backed.
