After the meeting with the reigning world champions France on Saturday, it is time for a new tough match for Sweden in the Nations League: Reigning European champions, Portugal.

It is rumored that the national team captain Janne Andersson will make some changes in his starting eleven since the meeting with France to stop the Portuguese - and not least the world star Cristiano Ronaldo.

"Looked ring rusty"

SVT Sports expert Daniel Nannskog has taken out his starting eleven for the evening.

In it, he makes five changes from the eleven that Janne lined up with most recently against the French.

Robin Olsen remains between the posts.

In the back line, Mikael Lustig and Pierre Bengtsson get a rest and are replaced by Emil Krafth and Ludwig Augustinsson who take a seat on each side.

- Augustinsson needs to play and step in there.

And we throw in Krafth, considering that Lustig looked a bit rusty last time.

I think it can be good to get a healthy and fit Krafth on the right back.

"No giant gambling"

Nannskog also makes two changes in midfield.

Sebastian Larsson gets to step out and Dejan Kulusevski steps in on the right wing, and Mattias Svanberg takes a place in the center instead of Albin Ekdal.

- Svanberg has done well in Bologna and has the habit of playing against really good opposition in Serie A. He is an interesting player and it would be cool to see him against such good opposition.

I do not see that it would be any "giant gambling" exactly, but he has a mature and good game in him, says Nannskog.

Albin Ekdal is sent off ...

- Yes.

He's a guy we know has had some injuries over the years.

It can be good for him not to play two full matches and not have to play from the start in any case as it is such a short recovery given his previous injury situation.

- It will be a straight 4-4-2 formation in an honest Janne Andersson way, states Nannskog.

Finally then: How do we stop Ronaldo if he plays?

- Through an organized defense game where you really give each other support.

It is almost impossible to stop him alone but it is about keeping him wrong.

He must not be this upright locomotive that has to come with speed because then it goes damn fast.

Footnote: Nannskog has assumed that no injuries have occurred and that these players are available to start.
