Sweden
Estonia will be aiming to build on a 3-1 win over Azerbaijan when they face Sweden in the UEFA Nations League round 4. The Estonians have regained a much-needed confidence, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against the star-studded Swedes. Grasshoppers defender Maksim Paskotsi limped off with injury in the last group game, with Rasmus Peetson likely to step up.
Talented HJK midfielder Kevor Palumets is back from suspension for the home side. The visitors, on the other hand, head into Monday’s clash following a 2-2 draw with Slovakia. Even though Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak remains in the recovery room, away win should be considered as duo Gyokeres – Kulusevski is expected to prove a handful for the opposition back-line. You should bear in mind that Sweden are eyeing their sixth consecutive win over Estonia in all competitions.
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.
