Sweden vs Greece: Preview

Sweden will want to make the most out of their game in hand with a win against Greece as they look to go top of the table. Sweden bounced back from a 2-1 defeat from last month with a 3-0 win against Kosovo away from home in their last game. Goals from Emil Forsberg, Alexander Isak and Robin Quaison were enough to take home all three points on the night. Janne Andersson’s men were beaten 2-1 by Greece in their last meeting. It is a must win game for Sweden this time out if they want to have any chance of automatic qualification for next year’s World Cup finals in Qatar.

The visitors, Greece were on course for a draw against Georgia in their last game but they were awarded a 90th minute penalty after Guram Giorbelidze’s handball saw Anastasios Bakasetas convert from the spot before Dimitris Pelkas doubled the lead in the 95th minute to confirm all three points for his side. The win has completely changed the scenario of Group B with Greece also having a chance of making it to the playoffs and even the top spot in the group.

Greece are in 3rd place with nine points and can go level on points with Sweden with a win against them on Tuesday. John Schip’s men have already got the better of Sweden in their last meeting will be looking for more of the same.
