A completely different match picture is expected when Sweden plays its second match in the European Championships this afternoon.
Slovakia is not Spain, says SVT's expert Glenn Strömberg.
- I expect that Sweden really wants to control this match.
We will be offensive and have the ball worth much more than in the match against Spain, says Glenn Strömberg to SVT.
At the same time, he raises a warning finger for the Slovaks.
- Slovakia are ball-skilled, they have no giant stars, but are enormously good.
It is not as easy as many people think.
Sweden may think that Slovakia is a bit like Sweden.
How many times have we not disturbed big teams?
Slovakia is just such a team.
They play one with such a big heart.
Sweden is a little better on paper.
But that is not the huge difference that many say, says Glenn Strömberg.
"A Sweden in miniature"
Strömberg still sees Sweden as favorites in the match.
- Sweden are favorites, I would say it is 60-40.
Not 80-20 or 70-30, as everyone else says.
Slovakia has qualities.
It is a miniature Sweden with great team morale.
And they know it's one for all, all for one.
Otherwise, they do not win football matches, and neither does Sweden, says Glenn Strömberg.
The match is very important for the continuation of the European Championships for Sweden.
Slovakia has three points from the premiere against Poland, and leads the group.
- We almost have to win this match.
If there is a draw today, we must win the last match against Poland.
It is a very important match, and it will be extra important to win the match today, says Glenn Strömberg.
In the Swedish squad, Dejan Kulusevski is back after being infected with corona.
But is not expected to start against Slovakia.
- It is only a clear advantage for Sweden that Kulusevski is back.
The more choices Janne Andersson makes, the better he thinks it is.
All coaches want big and difficult choices.
But I do not think it will be anything different in the starting eleven, says Glenn Strömberg.
SVT broadcasts the match Slovakia, and it is possible to follow up the talk of the match from 14.00 on SVT1 and Play.
