2018 FIFA World Cup - Predictions for every Quarter Final match

Sweden vs England

England have so far played as a rejuvenated unit

It is always great to see two dark horses successfully make it this far in a major tournament. While both England and Sweden have made it to the semi final of World Cup and England have even tasted success in 1966, none of them were considered serious contenders of the title this time out, and this is what makes this clash an interesting affair.

Sweden successfully upstaged a determined Switzerland by 1-0 in the round of 16 to make it to the quarter finals. England, however, had their hands full, as they were taken to a penalty shoot out by a James Rodriguez-less Columbian side. Even then, England have emerged as a rejuvenated unit led by a phenomenal skipper in Harry Kane.

Harry Kane, who is the current leader on the goal scorer list with 6 goals, has scored goals for fun so far, and it doesn't seem that he plans to stop anytime soon. While Sweden has emerged as a strong opponent in this edition, England have surprised a lot of fans with their overall game. Expect England to shatter Sweden's dream and enter their first semi-final in 28 years.

Prediction: England will prevail
