Sverige är storfavorit till 1,40 gånger pengarna medan gruppjumbon Moldavien spelas till oddset 8,50. – Moldavien är ett lag som ligger på 122:a plats på världsrankningen, men Sverige ska ändå inte räkna med någon promenadseger. Det finns en del frågetecken i den svenska truppen och det gäller att spela disciplinerat för att klara av uppgiften, säger Jonas Nilsson, pressansvarig på Unibet. Sverige är obesegrat i gruppen efter höstens fyra spelomgångar och det mesta talar för att den statistiken står sig efter morgondagens match. Men oddsen pekar på att det inte blir någon målfest, just nu spelas en svensk 1-0- seger till det lägsta oddset.
