Sweden will see changes to their squad due to the injury to Manchester United centre-back Victor Lindelof, who was forced off in the 2-1 win against Slovakia and could be out for an extended period. Having already been promoted, coach Jon Dahl Tomasson may make further changes, and the attacking trio of Alexander Isak, Viktor Gyokeres, and Dejan Kulusevski may not play together in the next match.
Manager Tomasson has called up Isac Lidberg, who has scored 10 goals in 12 games for the club, after several players, including Anthony Elanga, withdrew. Lidberg could start alongside Lucas Bergvall if the manager decides to change the lineup and rest key players.
Azerbaijan faces several squad problems due to injuries, with Emin Mahmudov and Rustam Ahmadzada withdrawn. Striker Mahir Emreli returns after suspension and could replace Musa Gurbanli. Goalkeeper Mehdi Jannatov is left out of the squad after conceding 11 goals in 4 matches, and Rza Jafarov will start for the third time after keeping a clean sheet against Estonia.

Latest football match prediction: Sweden vs Azerbaijan
Sweden officially secured promotion to League B of the UEFA Nations League 2024-25 after an impressive 2-1 victory over Slovakia on Saturday evening. This result guarantees top spot in their group, with one match remaining. Both of the team's main strikers, Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres, scored in the match, with Gyokeres continuing his excellent form by increasing his personal tally to 5 goals, leading the Nations League 2024-25 scoring charts.
Sweden demonstrated superior strength throughout the campaign, starting with a 3-1 victory away at Azerbaijan in September, with goals from both Isak and Gyokeres. Finishing top of their group gave Sweden continued confidence heading into next year's World Cup qualifiers. They had little trouble for the remainder of the campaign, with a 2-1 win against Slovakia, although they couldn't maintain a large margin.
Meanwhile, Azerbaijan is in a difficult situation, sitting at the bottom of League C with only 1 point after 5 matches. Coach Fernando Santos's team hasn't won a game since May, with only one draw against Estonia. They have lost 3-1 to Sweden and Estonia, and 3-1 to Slovakia, making their upcoming match against Sweden a crucial one. A failure to win would officially relegate Azerbaijan to League D. Their poor form and consecutive defeats make avoiding relegation extremely difficult for Azerbaijan.
