Spain will lock horns with Sweden in the 2022 World Cup qualifying Group B matchday 10 at the Estadio Olimpico de la Cartuja on Sunday. The kick-off is at 21:45 CEST.

Preview

Even though Sweden could've been coming into this vital clash as the Group B leaders, two points ahead of Spain, their surprising 2-0 loss to Georgia on Thursday means that it's La Roja who currently top the standings with 16 points as Luis Enrique's side rather easily defeated Greece 1-0 on the same day. As a result, the Spaniards only have to avoid a defeat on Sunday to qualify for the 2022 WC in Qatar while Janne Andersson's side only need all three points in Seville to avoid playing in playoffs.

Team news

Eric Garcia, Yeremi Pino, Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres are all unavailable for the hosts through injury while the visitors have no confirmed injury absentees.

Prediction

Spain are placed as the hot favourites to claim a victory in this one, given their status of the Euro 2020 semi-finalists and the 2020/21 Nations League finalists. However, it were the Swedes who defeated La Roja 2-1 courtesy of goals from Alexander Isak and Victor Claesson in their previous head-to-head meeting in September. Thus, we wouldn't be surprised if Andersson's crop manage to cause major problems to Enrique's men this time around with an automatic qualification for the Qatari tournament at stake, so let's stick with a rather entertaining clash taking place in Seville on Sunday.
