Sweden vs Greece Predicted XI
Sweden (4-4-2): Robin Olsen; Emil Krafth, Nilsson, Marcus Danielson, Ludwig Augustinsson; Viktor Claesson, Kristoffer Olsson, Mattias Svanberg, Emil Forsberg; Aleksandar Isak, Dejan Kulusevski.
🇬🇷 For tomorrow's clash with Sweden, it is unclear whether JVS keeps the 352 or switch to the 433 while there may be one or two attacking changes. On the defensive end, it is certain Stafylidis will start in the 352 replacing Tzavellas, who is out suspended.

Sweden vs Greece Prediction
Group B has arguably been the most entertaining group in the European qualifiers, and Tuesday's affair between Sweden and Greece could decide how the table will shape up at the end.
Sweden will be the favorites to earn three valuable points at home, but Greece are more than capable of pulling off an upset, as they showed in the last game the two sides played.
However, we expect Sweden to take care of business on Tuesday night.
Prediction: Sweden 2-1 Greece
