Sweden
Luxembourg will try to claim a major scalp when they face Sweden in Saturday’s friendly. Luxembourg showed character in their last Nations League game, coming from two goals behind to share the spoils with Northern Ireland. However, they will have a mountain to climb against star-studded Sweden. The good news for the hosts is that top scorer Gerson Rodrigues has overcome his minor injury.
Jon Dahl Tomasson’s troops, on the other hand, aim to build on a splendid 6-0 win over Azerbaijan and a triumph over Luxembourg will see them extend their winning run to four games in all competitions. With Viktor Gyokeres (Sporting CP) and Alexander Isak (Newcastle) up front, the Swedes are definitely capable of beating Luxembourg. When the two teams met in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers, Sweden rolled over Luxembourg 8-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
Highlighted Team (Sweden):
Sweden are the most successful Nordic side on international stage having been present at major competitions since 1934. Blagult missed out on the 1952 World Cup trophy on home soil as they were beaten by star-studded Brazil side, while they finished in third place at the 1950 and 1994 tournaments, and finishing fourth on their second appearance in 1938.
As far as their European Championship record is concerned, Sweden also achieved their best result in front of home fans, reaching the last four in 1992, and they have since reached the quarter-finals at Euro 1994 in Portugal.
Anders Svensson and Thomas Ravelli are team’s most capped players with over 140 appearances each, but it is strikers Henrik Larsson and Zlatan Ibrahimovic that will go down as the most famous Swedish footballers in history. The later also leads the goalscoring charts with over 60 strikes for the national team and he is widely regarded as one of the most colourful characters, not only in Scandinavia, but in world football.
