Latest football commentary Sweden vs Slovakia
Sweden, playing in Europe's third tier for the first time after two successive relegations, are currently looking the better side of most of their opponents. With three wins in four games and an average of almost three goals per game, their push for promotion back to League B is well on track after picking up four more points in October.
Sweden started their campaign with a 3-1 win over Azerbaijan and a 3-0 win over Estonia, with Viktor Gyokeres and Alexander Isak shining. However, Slovakia came from behind to draw 2-2 with Sweden in Bratislava last month. However, the 3-0 win in Estonia means Sweden top the group on goal difference over Slovakia. They can settle for a draw this weekend and still top the group if they beat Azerbaijan.
Slovakia also have 10 points and could secure automatic promotion if they beat Sweden, thanks to their superior head-to-head record. However, at least a play-off place has been secured for Slovakia thanks to wins over Azerbaijan, Estonia and a draw with Sweden. Slovakia, who have reached the last 16 of Euro 2024, are in good form, with six wins from 12 games this year, including victories over Belgium and Wales, giving them confidence ahead of the trip to Solna.
