Football Bet of the Day: Sweden to put the heat on Chile

Sweden v Chile
Saturday 17:00

France woke up and smelt the Cafeteros in Paris last night. The hosts were 2-0 up before losing 3-2 in a game that paid out our BTTS bet before half-time.

Among today's international friendlies, it's the game in Solna that's turned our head. Janne Andersson's Sweden are W6-D1-L0 on home turf since January last year, but start as outsiders against a Chile team that has slumped since winning the 2016 Copa America.

Whereas Sweden beat Italy to qualify for Russia this summer, Reinaldo Rueda's men failed to come through South American qualifying. Home and away, La Roja have lost four of their last five. Going further back, to June last year, they've won just 2/10 in 90 minutes across competitive games and friendlies. We're backing the home side to avoid defeat here.
