Sweden will take on Greece in the 2022 World Cup qualifying Group B matchday 8 at Friends Arena on Tuesday. The kick-off is at 20:45 CEST.

Preview

It were the Greeks who stopped Sweden's three-game winning streak in Group B last month (2-1) but Janne Andersson's managed to return to winning ways in their WC qualification against Kosovo on Saturday with Emil Forsberg, Alexander Isak and Robin Quaison securing a comfortable 3-0 win for their side in Solna. As a result, the Blue and Yellow could lepfrog current leaders Spain, who are now just two points ahead, at the top of the table if they manage to take all three points on Tuesday.

Greece, in turn, extended thei winning run to two matches over the weekend as John van 't Schip's crop claimed a 2-0 victory in Georgia on the same day to find themselves in the third spot, three points adrift of their forthcoming opponents.

Team news

Victor Lindelof is the only significant absentee in the Andersson's squad as he misses October's international break due to personal reasons. Van 't Schip, meanwhile, has a fully fit set up at his disposal.

Prediction

Both sides will be facing Spain in next month's set of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers so taking a win in this one will be crucial for the hopes of Sweden and Greece to make it the Qatari tournament next year. Given the Greeks' victory in the reverse fixture in September and the Swedes responce against Kosovo last week, let's say that you can expect goals at both ends on Tuesday, as well as in their previous head-to-head meeting.
