29/20 BTTS & Over 2.5 Leads the Value as Ukraine and Sweden Chase World Cup Dreams

Both Teams To Score & Over 2.5 Goals at 29/20 is the big value in this one, whilst Ukraine to qualify at EVS looks good with William Hill.

The Estadi Ciutat de València in Spain is the venue for this one, as Ukraine and Sweden look to continue their dreams of reaching the 2026 World Cup this summer.

Now, let’s take a closer look at some World Cup Qualifier odds and betting angles for Thursday’s fixture:

Ukraine v Sweden – Thursday, 7.45pm

See how the odds stack up across every market.

• Ukraine impressed in Group D finishing second to France, with their two defeats coming only against the French, the Blue and Yellows are now just two games away from securing their second ever appearance at the FIFA World Cup since breaking away from the Soviet Union in 1991, with Poland or Albania awaiting the winners of this one.
• Ukraine will be concerned about these play-off fixtures though given their poor record in recent years, they’ve lost each of their last three World Cup play-off fixtures, losing to Greece in 2010, France in 2014 and Wales in 2022, William Hill have priced them at EVS to progress here.
• We could see an entertaining encounter in Valencia given that eight of Ukraine’s last eleven internationals have all produced at least three or more goals, whilst both teams have found the back of the net in four of the last five meetings between these two nations.
  ——————————–————————
• Sweden could count themselves a little lucky having this chance to still qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup given they failed to win any of their six qualifying games for the first time in their history, they remain in with a chance only from their performance in the UEFA Nations League.
• Following a winless run of four games (L3, D1), Graham Potter took the reigns at Sweden but he’s failed to win his first two games in charge (L1, D1), the Englishman will be hoping he can get his side back to scoring goals given they’ve scored just two goals in their last five games despite their attacking talents, Sweden are 7/5 to win this one within ninety-minutes.
• Six of the last seven competitive games that Sweden have played on the road have featured three or more goals, this is a tough game to call so our main focus will be goals but given how low confidence is right now for Potter’s side, a Ukraine victory wouldn’t surprise me too much.

Prediction: Both Teams To Score & Over 2.5 Goals (29/20), Ukraine To Qualify (EVS).
