Team Conditions Ahead of the Match

Sweden: Seeking Redemption

Sweden faces mounting pressure under coach Jon Dahl Tomasson after a poor start to their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign, including a surprising 0-2 loss to Kosovo. 

Arsenal legend and former Swedish international Freddie Ljungberg expressed his disappointment with the result and highlighted the significant issues facing the national team.

A subsequent 2-2 draw against Slovenia left Sweden with just one point from two matches, increasing the risk of missing out on major tournaments. 

In recent years, Sweden failed to qualify for Euro 2024 and three of the last four World Cups, with their most recent major tournament appearance being Euro 2020. 

Despite these challenges, the Swedish Football Association continues to back Tomasson, hoping he can end the national team’s extended drought of competitive victories.

Sweden will enter this match without one of their most experienced players, goalkeeper Robin Olsen, who has opted out of national team duties while Tomasson remains in charge. 

Olsen’s position is expected to be filled by Viktor Johansson of Stoke City, who is poised to earn his tenth international cap. 

Up front, Sweden boasts a strong attacking lineup featuring Alexander Isak (Liverpool), Viktor Gyokeres (Arsenal), and Anthony Elanga (Newcastle United), all ready to showcase their talent.

Switzerland: Maintaining Momentum

While Sweden seeks to regain form, Switzerland aims to continue their excellent start to 2025. The Red Devils have enjoyed a remarkable year, winning five of six matches and beginning the qualifiers with perfect results.

Switzerland opened the group stage with a 4-0 victory over Kosovo and a 3-0 win against Slovenia, both at home.

Switzerland has participated in the last five World Cups, and coach Murat Yakin hopes to extend this record to six with a strong start in the current qualifiers. 

Granit Xhaka will mark his 140th international appearance following an impressive performance against Slovenia.

Midfielder Simon Sohm is doubtful due to a foot injury, while Fabian Rieder is expected to start in central midfield. Top scorer Breel Embolo is ready to add to his tally of 21 international goals for Switzerland.
