Sweden Preview – Can the Swedes avoid the drop?
Janne Andersson’s Sweden have had a poor Nations League campaign. They sit bottom of the table with just three points to their name after one win and four defeats. Along the way, they have scored six and conceded ten.
Sweden started Group B4 with a 2-0 victory over Slovenia in Ljubljana in June. Emil Forsberg opened the scoring from the spot, and Dejan Kulusevski doubled their advantage two minutes from time. However, the Blue and Yellow have gone on to lose four Nations League games on the bounce, shipping ten goals.
Last time out, Sweden fell to an embarrassing 4-1 loss to Serbia in Belgrade. Can they put their bad form to be bed and seal a big three points from this one? The hosts are the favourites.
Slovenia Preview – Will the Slovenians leave Sweden with a positive result?
Slovenia go into the final game two points above Sweden in third. They have picked up one win, drawn two and lost two of their five League B4 fixtures. A point will be enough to keep them in the second tier for the next Nations League campaign.
Slovenia got off to a poor start when they were beaten at home by Sweden and hammered in Serbia in their opening two. However, they have won one and drawn two of the following three. The Slovenians held Norway and Serbia to draws before beating the Norwegians 2-1 in Ljubljana last week.

Sweden put on the perfect away display when the duo clashed at Stozice Stadium in Ljubljana back in June. A first-half penalty gave them the lead and an effort two minutes from time did the business.
That was the first meeting between the pair since they played out a goalless draw in a friendly in May 2016.
