Sweden impressed against Greece, by winning 2-0 without impressing, and still tops the World Cup qualifying group two points ahead of Spain, with two matches left. On November 11, Sweden will play the penultimate match away against Georgia, while a hungry Spain will take on Greece away.
– I think that Spain will manage the three-pointer against a sawn-off Greece, but Sweden feels more uncertain considering what it looked like during this collection, says Daniel Nannskog.
Ekdahl suspended against Georgia
Then Sweden has still won two matches in a row with 3-0 and 2-0, respectively, but with a game that hacked worryingly against Greece. In addition, midfielder Albin Ekdahl is suspended against Georgia after a yellow card against Greece, and to top it all, the midfield problem worsens when Marcus Danielsson joins his club team in China, where he remains due to quarantine regulations.
– It still feels pretty safe considering that the replacement Joakim Nilsson made a good effort when he came to Kosovo earlier, comments Daniel Nannskog.
Nannskog believes in Spain
Kosovo at home, however, is a completely different matter than Spain away. If both Sweden and Spain win their away matches on November 11, then a fateful match remains three days later: Spain at home against Sweden. Draw and Sweden wins the group. With a home win, Spain is over, as a group winner.
– What I see is a slightly straighter Spain than before, and it feels like you are something on the track, says Daniel Nannskog to SVT Sport.
Who will win the group?
– To be completely honest, I think Spain will win the group. I have a hard time seeing Sweden take a point against Spain away, but bigger miracles have happened.
