October 8, 2019 was the last time Sweden played in front of an audience at the national arena Gamla Ullevi.
But tonight, the national team will receive long-awaited support on the spot when around 3,500 spectators are admitted.
- It means a lot.
We charged yesterday with the match review by looking at audience photos and preparing for this atmosphere.
It was noticed yesterday that this is an important thing for the players, to be able to play in front of an audience.
It will be an extra boost and hopefully help us a little extra, says national team captain Peter Gerhardsson to SVT Sport.
When the World Cup qualifier began against Slovakia on Friday, Sweden won with "only" one goal.
Against Georgia tonight, the league captain wants to see more balls go in.
- Yes, but I want to.
One never knows in the end how important these goals will be.
We want to score goals and preferably as many as possible and of course win the match.
Sweden-Georgia is broadcast on SVT2 18.15 tonight.
