Sweden and Belgium will go into battle for the second spot of group E in the European Championship as the two teams play their final game of the group stages.
Belgium were unfortunate in their first game against Italy as they lost 0-2 to Conte’s men but they quickly put themselves back on track on Saturday afternoon against Ireland. Two goals from by Everton striker Lukaku and a goal from Witsel were enough to do the damage. They now hope to repeat this superb performance against Zlatan Ibrahimovic and his Swedish team mates in their last group stage battle.
Sweden were unlucky to give away their 1-0 lead in their first game against Ireland as the game ended in a 1-1 due to an injury time own goal. Sweden later lost to 1-0 to Italy in their second game to compound their woes. Sweden now hopes to get a win in this game against a star packed Belgium to put themselves in the second spot of the group.
