When Sweden gathers for the last time before the WC in July, the national team will face first Denmark at Eleda Station in Malmö (April 7) and then Norway at Gamla Ullevi in Gothenburg (April 11).
- These are extremely important matches against good opposition.
Both teams performed at a slightly uneven level in the EC and I think Sweden is a better team.
It will be a perfect opposition to prepare for the WC, says SVT Sports expert Daniel Nannskog.
What do you hope to see from Sweden in the matches?
- I hope for a form announcement and that the national team gets a good start.
Before the European Championships, Sweden was a little offensive, which is not necessarily wrong, but I think they would feel good about toning down the expectations a little and getting out of the disadvantage, says Daniel Nannskog.
Preparations for the WC
SVT broadcasts both international matches, which are part of the preparations for this summer's WC, which will be decided July 20-August 20 in Australia and New Zealand.
- There will be two interesting Nordic clashes and it feels extra fun to be able to play in both Malmö and Gothenburg - that the last gathering before the World Cup will be at home in front of our fantastic supporters, says federation captain Peter Gerhardsson in a press release.
In the World Cup, which begins on July 20, Sweden faces South Africa, Italy and Argentina in the group stage.
