The playoffs appear in Athens

Sweden have not yielded any points in the three games they have played in qualifying for the 2022 World Cup, full of victories and nine points. In addition, they have two games less than Spain, and the victory in Hellenic lands would leave the Scandinavians well on their way before the next break. The defeat (2-1) of Spain in Solna left Luis Enrique's men very touched, since today they do not depend on themselves to be first in the group, and thus be able to avoid the play-offs that large European teams are doing. (Follow the game live on AS.com).

In football, Sweden is expected to start with an eleven similar to that of the match against Spain. Isak will be once again the danger of their own, and Kulusevski will accompany you at the attack point. Claesson, with two goals in qualifying, and Forsberg, who was one of the most outstanding of theirs in the Eurocup with four goals, they will start from the sides. The doubt is in the center of the field, since Ekdal, with discomfort, or Cajuste will be Olsson's dance partner. On defense once again Lindelof will be the leader of the rear, accompanied by Krafth, Helander and the Sevilla player, Augustinsson.

Like the Swedes, Greece has only played three games and adds three draws, one of them against Spain in Los Cármenes. A fact that can give a little respite to those of Luis Enrique, is that the Hellenic team has not lost 12 official matches to date. The Greeks await in the figure of their goalkeeper, Vlachodimos, who has started the season at a high level, and to Liverpool's left-back who beat Robertson, Tsimikas.
