Not having any injured players is a peculiar problem for the league captain, Janne Andersson, who must select an eleven who will try to counter what went wrong in the last meeting with Norway, when Sweden allowed three goals in the 3-3 match.
- We make a perfectly okay match at away level but we allow three goals. As usual, it is important to have 100 percent focus with quality in the passing game. We must be prepared to fight. If we come up to level, we are the better team, ”says Albin Ekdal to SVT Sport.
Ekdal for the support of the goalkeeper, Robin Olsen.
- I think we are favorites. We have a home plan and are strong at home, so I think we are favorites, says Olsen.
Tomorrow's game is not a must-have match but of great importance. At the moment, Norway is placed in third place, two points behind Sweden and a victory would mean creating a distance down to the chasing teams.
- We know what to do, we have to play fast-attacking football and hold tight back. Hopefully we will not allow three goals again and with Norway being a direct competitor to second place, it is just to drive on, says Ekdal.
