Belgium v ​​Sweden in Group F of the European Championship Qualifiers in Germany is scheduled for Monday, October 16 at 21:45 at Stade Roi Beaudoin in Brussels and will be broadcast live on Digi Sport 3 and First Sport 3.

Belgium, which has already qualified for Euro 2024, and Sweden, which has only a theoretical chance of reaching the final tournament, will meet in a match in which only the Scandinavian national team is at stake.

Group F is led by Belgium with 16 points after six games, followed by Austria with 13 points after six games and Sweden with six points after five games, with the latter two teams competing for the only available place that secures a place at Euro 2024. as Azerbaijan with four points from five matches and Estonia with one point after six matches are out of the qualifying calculations.

Belgium won three days ago in Austria with a score of 3-2 and mathematically qualified for the final tournament in Germany, the only bet now was only to win the group (besides the game against Sweden, they still have to play, also at home, against Azerbaijan).

Domenico Tedesco’s side have scored at least three times in three of their previous four matches and are on an eight-match unbeaten run that began with the draw that ruled them out of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar with a 0-0 group stage draw with Croatia.

Sweden played their previous group match in September, 1-3 at home to Austria, before beating Moldova 3-1 in a friendly in Stockholm three days earlier.

Janne Andersson’s national team have little chance of qualifying for Euro 2024, needing back-to-back wins in their remaining three matches against Belgium (d), Azerbaijan (d) and Estonia (a), but also Austria losing their last two games , both away, with Azerbaijan and Estonia.

Sweden have appeared in the last six European finals and reached the quarter-finals in 2004 and the last 16 in 2020, last missing out at Euro 1996, a competition hosted in England.

The last time the two teams met in the current preliminary match was on March 24, 2023 in Stockholm, when Belgium won 3-0 against Sweden after Romelu Lukaku’s hat-trick in the 35th, 49th and 83rd minutes.
