Group D: Sweden vs France Euro 2012 Live Streaming


Watch Euro 2012 Sweden vs France Live Streaming

Match Schedule: June 19, 2012 7:45 PM BST
NSK Olimpijs'kyj — Kyiv (Kiev)
Referee:‬ Pedro Proença‎‎‎‎‎
Laurent Blanc: "There's always the danger that you may take your eye off the ball. So it is up to us to prepare seriously. We also need to be very aware of what we want to achieve. We were very happy following the Ukraine game, rightly so, but as I said to the players, we now need to prepare for the next game, as a game like this against Sweden demands it."(Yahoo)
Sweden's key player: Kim Källström. The 29-year-old put in a decent display against England, providing a number of defence splitting passes and also working hard to get back and break up opposition attacks himself, and could be key in a tricky midfield battle against les Bleus. His knowledge of the game in France is vital if Sweden are to savour any success at the last attempt in this tournament, having plied his trade for both Rennes and presently Olympique Lyonnais.
Frank Ribery, France

France's Player to Watch: Franck Ribéry. The Bayern Munich winger was a lot nearer to his sublime best in the 2-0 win over Ukraine after a subdued opening game against England. Though he is yet to get on the scoresheet himself, he created a number of openings for team-mates in the match with the co-hosts and should really have been rewarded with a handful of assists. He'll be looking to finally make the net ripple and reproduce the pre-tournament form that saw himself and Karim Benzema shine.

Sweden vs France Probable Line Up:
Sweden: Isaksson, Granqvist, Mellberg, J.Olsson, M.Olsson, Larsson, Kallstrom, Svensson, Elm, Ibrahimovic, Elmander
France: Lloris, Debuchy, Koscielny, Mexes, Clichy, M'Vila, Diarra, Ribery, Nasri, Menez, Benzema

Sweden vs France Prediction: France have shown both grit and determination in the draw with England, along with sheer class going forward in the 2-0 win over co-hosts Ukraine. Therefore, while Hamren's men have pride to play for and could provide a stubborn resistance, they could be in for a receiving end of a heavy defeat. (Goal)

Donbass Arena — Donets'k
Referee:‬ B. Kuipers‎‎‎
Andriy Shevchenko has netted four of Ukraine’s seven goals at EURO and World Cup finals, three of these goals were headed. In his last four appearances for France, Franck Ribéry has scored three goals and set up another two.(Yahoo)
Ukraine's key player: Anatoliy Tymoshchuk. The 33-year-old will be familiar with many of the French top-class names, such as Franck Ribery and Karim Benzema, after playing either alongside or against them, with Bayern Munich. He must remain switched on at all times with Les Bleus' flair men dropping into pockets of space all over the field. What the veteran now lacks in pace, will need to be made up with each ounce of his positioning, organisation and intelligence.


Samir Nasri
France's Player to Watch: Samir Nasri. The former Arsenal man will therefore want to continue to let his football do the talking, with an unproven defence the perfect opportunity to do so against. However, he must not become arrogant or selfish with the ball, as that will only bring the whole team performance down, and turn and already overwhelmingly unfavourable crowd even more against him.

Ukraine vs France Probable Line Up:
Ukraine: Pyatov, Husyev, Khacheridi, Mykhalyk, Selin, Tymoschchuck, Rotan, Nazarenko, Konoplyanka, Yarmolenko Voronin
France: Lloris, Debuchy, Rami, Mexes, Evra, Cabaye, M'Vila, Malouda, Nasri, Benzema, Ribery

Ukraine vs France Euro 2012 Prediction
France will be looking to win this game without too much trouble. However, it is easy to forget that it's Ukraine that currently top Group D. The co-hosts were more than delighted to have won their first game, but don't be fooled - expectation on Blokhin and his men is high, and they will want to win. Expect Ukraine to be stubborn to break down, and to work extremely hard for their cause, but France know how important three points will be. Laurent Blanc's men should win, not overwhelmingly, but comfortably.(Goal.com)
