UEFA Group B is one of the more interesting World Cup qualifying sections, with Spain taking their place at the head of the table although it’s far from certain whether Sweden or Greece will be following them home at this stage.
You might have put your money on the former before the teams met recently at the Olympic Stadium in Athens, although a 2-1 victory for the Greeks has opened up the group and John van't Schip’s side will head to Stockholm with plenty of confidence as they look to re-announce themselves on an international stage.
It should be noted that Greece are unbeaten after four games played. They opened qualifying with a 1-1 draw away to Spain before being held by the same scoreline against Georgia. They were then denied a victory in Kosovo before coming through against the Swedes.
As for the Scandinavian side, they are also hard to beat and triumphed against Spain at the Friends Arena a month ago. However, Janne Andersson’s side often lack creativity and might find it hard to create chances against well-drilled opponents. Therefore, our selection is going to be the draw for this clash.
