England take on Sweden in their second game of Euro 2012, and will look to eliminate their Group D opponents with three points.

Sweden were disappointingly beaten 2-1 by Ukraine in their first game of the tournament, and the Scandinavian fans will be especially disappointed that their side threw away a one-goal lead. Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored the goal for Erik Hamren’s men, and the AC Milan forward will look to bully the English defenders and create space for his fellow attackers. With a defeat in the first game Sweden cannot afford to lose this fixture, and as such can be expected to try to play to win. Bwin have Sweden as underdogs however, and give odds of 3.60 for them to get a win.
England will be pleased with their result in the first game, as a 1-1 draw against France sets the side up to qualify from the pool. Joleon Lescott scored the goal for the Three Lions in that fixture, whilst James Milner had a glorious chance to score also. Roy Hodgson has asked his side to be more potent in the final third, and is seemingly waiting for Wayne Rooney to return in the next game. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain impressed in the first game, and against Sweden the Arsenal winger should have space to impress. Bwin have England as favourites at odds of 2.10.
Sweden will make it difficult for the English side, but the Three Lions will be confident of getting the points. My Euro 2012 football betting tip is a 1-0 win to England, which Bwin have at odds of 6.50.
