During the last World Cup qualifier, Sweden won against Spain at home and lost to Greece away in the qualifiers. Blue-yellow will face Kosovo at home at Friends Arena on Saturday, but will miss captain Victor Nilsson Lindelöf in the match squad. The reason is that he remains in England, where his partner will give birth to the couple’s other children.
Sweden’s national team captain Janne Andersson chooses instead to line up with Marcus Danielson and Joakim Nilsson as midfielders. In Kosovo, Hammarby striker Astrit Selmani starts on the bench.
Startelvor:
Sweden: Robin Olsen – Emil Krafth, Marcus Danielson, Joakim Nilsson, Ludwig Augustinsson – Viktor Claesson, Kristoffer Olsson, Albin Ekdal, Emil Forsberg – Dejan Kulusevski, Alexander Isak.
Kosovo: Arijanet Muric – Mergim Vojvoda, Amir Rrahmani, Fidan Aliti, Florent Hadergjonaj – Zymer Bytyqi, Florian Loshaj, Ibrahim Dresevic, Elbasan Rashani – Milot Rashica, Vedat Muriqi.
The match can be seen on TV4 and C More Football, and streamed on cmore.se.
