'Final game' in Friends Arena

A huge win for Sweden last Friday (1-0) in Turkey, which kept them in the battle for the first place in the 2nd group of League B at UEFA Nations League. Now if they win Russia, they will reach 7 points overall, as many as their opponent, but Swedes are going to win the group as they have already registered a bore draw in Russia in October. J.Andersson will choose his best starting eleven, while he is only concerned about defender V.Lindelof who was ill.

Russia suffered a 'friendly' loss (3-0) in Germany the previous Friday. That match was indifferent for both S.Cherchesov and his players. Russia conceded all three goals until the 40' playing with a full rotated squad and they didn't strike back. Everyone's thought was on tonight's game in Friends Arena, where even a draw is good enough for the Russians, as they are at +3 from the Swedes. Striker A.Dzyuba is now 100% fit, in contrast to defenders K.Rausch and F.Kudryashov. 

It's a life or death game tonight for Sweden and Russia, since both of them have hopes for the first place in the group and the promotion to League A. After the away win in Turkey, Sweden need another win here, while Russia are at +3 and even a draw is good enough for them. I don't expect to see a different game, compared to the first one in Kaliningrad (0-0). I expect a low scoring affair in a clash where everything is important. Under 2.5 goals will be my call.
