In a thrilling International Friendly held at Strawberry Arena in Stockholm on June 10, 2025, Sweden edged out Algeria 4-3. The match, characterized by a high-scoring affair, saw Sweden's Ken Sema bag a hat-trick (14', 39', 50' Pen), while Anton Saletros added another goal in the 56th minute. Algeria responded with goals from Ismaël Bennacer (64'), Yassine Benzia (71'), and Nabil Bentaleb (87' Pen), but it wasn't enough to overturn the Swedish lead.
Sweden, playing in a 3-5-2 formation, had 42.4% possession and 12 total shots, converting 9 of them into shots on target. Algeria, employing a 4-3-3 setup, dominated possession with 57.6% and unleashed 17 shots, but only 6 tested the Swedish goalkeeper. The game was physical, with Sweden committing 21 fouls and receiving 2 yellow cards, while Algeria committed 14 fouls and received 5 yellow cards.
The AI-powered pre-game prediction favored a Sweden win, which ultimately proved accurate. The AI model did not expect a balanced game, and the high scoreline reflects this assessment, suggesting a dynamic, albeit perhaps defensively flawed, encounter.
Sweden has been in good form recently, securing dominant victories in their friendlies and Nations League matches, demonstrating their attacking prowess. Prior to this game, they had won four of their last five games, losing only to Luxembourg. Algeria, similarly, has been performing well, with a string of wins against Rwanda and Gambia, showcasing their strength in African competitions. They have won four of their last five games, drawing the remaining game with Gambia.
This match continued Sweden's trend of high-scoring home games, reminiscent of their recent victories against Northern Ireland and Azerbaijan. For Algeria, while the loss breaks their winning streak, their ability to score three goals away from home signals a potent attacking force that can trouble any defense. This game had more goals than the previous head-to-head match between the two teams, which was won by Sweden 2-0.
On June 10, 2025, the Strawberry Arena in Stockholm will host an intriguing International Friendly between Sweden and Algeria. According to advanced AI analysis, Sweden is predicted to win, though with a relatively close 49.4% probability compared to Algeria's 26.0%. The draw probability stands at 24.6%. Sweden, with a rate of 0.576, will rely on their attacking midfielder, Emil Forsberg, known for his precision passing and goal-scoring ability, and young striker, Viktor Gyökeres, who is rapidly becoming a household name. However, Algeria, rated slightly higher at 0.685, will be no pushover. Their recent form has been impressive, and the team will be spearheaded by Riyad Mahrez, who provides a constant threat with his pace and dribbling skills. Sweden's recent form has been good with 4 victories out of 5 matches. Algeria also had 4 victories and 1 draw in its last 5 games. The last time these two nations met, back in 2022, Sweden secured a 2-0 victory. Can Sweden repeat the feat on home soil, or will Algeria defy the odds and the AI prediction? Football fans worldwide will be watching with bated breath.
