Sweden vs Algeria: Friendly Match Prediction (11.06.2025)

On June 11, 2025, at 00:00 WIB, a friendly match between the national teams of Sweden and Algeria will take place at “Strawberry Arena” on the outskirts of Stockholm. The home team is playing a series of test matches before entering the World Cup qualification phase. Meanwhile, the visitors have the African Nations Championship coming up. Therefore, it’s crucial for both sides to test their strengths, identify areas that need improvement, and give playing time to reserve players. Let’s look at the current form of both teams and provide our prediction for the match.

Sweden

The Swedish national team has noticeably declined in recent years. One factor was the generational change, which they were unable to handle smoothly. As a result, Sweden temporarily lost their status as a mid-tier European team and even found themselves in the third division of the Nations League, though they did not stay there long. Sweden went undefeated in six Nations League matches and won their group. Their series of friendlies also shows positive signs within the squad. They began with a loss to Luxembourg (0-1) in the first match but later proved that was just an unexpected slip-up. After that, they thrashed Northern Ireland (5-1), and on June 6 they celebrated a confident away win against Hungary (2-0).

Algeria

The Algerian national team is in excellent form. They have put together a run of 12 matches without defeat. In the African Cup of Nations qualifiers, the team had no problems at all, winning the group with 5 wins and 1 draw, scoring 16 goals and conceding only 2. In World Cup qualifying, Algeria also leads their group, winning 5 of the last 6 matches. On their continent, Algeria is clearly among the strongest teams. But how will they perform against mid-level European teams? That’s what this match against Sweden will test.

Statistics and Head-to-Head

The two teams have only met once before, in 2022, in a friendly match. On that occasion, Sweden emerged victorious with a 2-0 scoreline.

Prediction

For the Sweden – Algeria match, our prediction favors the home team. Despite the African team’s success, their previous opposition has been considerably weaker. Additionally, Jon Dahl Tomasson’s squad is in excellent form, with one of the most prolific players in the past year. Therefore, we recommend betting on Sweden to win.
