Sweden vs Czech Republic odds:
This is one of the closer World Cup playoff ties, although the bookies have installed Sweden as favourites to triumph in the first leg. However, the Czech Republic are certainly no slouches, and could well shock the Swedes in Stockholm if the home side don’t perform.

Sweden vs Czech Republic Preview
This tie, along with Wales vs Austria, is the most finely balanced of all World Cup playoff matches. Sweden are the favourites, but the Czech Republic have pedigree and will represent a real threat to the Swedish hopes of qualifying.
Sweden find themselves in the playoffs after finishing second in Group B, behind Spain. Things could have been different, if only the Swedes hadn’t suffered a shock loss to Georgia, before then losing to Spain in their final game. Still, Swedish fans will fancy their chances of progressing past the Czech Republic and qualifying for Qatar.
The Czech Republic find themselves in the playoffs after progressing via the Nations League. Their performance in the group stages of World Cup qualification wasn’t too impressive, finishing third behind Belgium and Wales.
The Swedish chances of winning have been dramatically altered by the suspension of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Emil Krafth is also suspended. However, the Czechs are also understrength, as they’re missing striker Patrik Schick, who has scored 20 goals in 20 Bundesliga games this season.
Whoever wins this match will progress to the final of Path B, where they’ll face Poland, who received a bye after Russia were thrown out of the tournament.
