Sweden vs Bosnia and Herzegovina: team news and expert analysis
Sweden endured a disastrous qualifying campaign a year ago, picking up just two points from six matches. But with new coach Potter at the helm, they came through the Nations League play-off route, beating Ukraine and Poland to reach the World Cup. They then collected four points in the group stage, only to be thrashed by France in the round of 32. The team has been in good form this autumn, winning three of their four matches, although they drew 1-1 with their rivals.
Bosnia finally made it back to the World Cup. In March, they advanced past Wales and Italy on penalties after 1-1 draws, then also reached the knockout stage at the tournament with four points—only to lose 2-0 to the USA straight away. In the Nations League, they have alternated between draws and wins.
The Scandinavians are scoring 1.7 goals per match but conceding slightly more, at 1.8. Their rivals have an even record, averaging 1.2 goals scored and 1.2 conceded per game.
