Sweden vs Russia UEFA Nations League
Sweden in November was bottom of the table in their League of Nations with just one point, however, they managed to get out of the danger zone by going on to win the home of Turkey in this month’s game.
They can be ranked first in the group on Tuesday night. This decisive game ends their campaign in Group B2, with both teams trying to secure the first place, and grab promotion to the top level.
This was considered a difficult group, with two of the finalists of the World Championship, in a group of three teams.
That made life very difficult for Turkey, who was relegated to the third level after a 1-0 home defeat by the Swedes on Saturday.
Now the men of the house aim to climb to the first place after this rebirth of the “ashes.”
They have not had the best start in this competition, but they are focused on joining the elite group in Europe, and they can dream of it if it is a consistent and dynamic team.
Pontus Jansson, was ruled out for injury while Emil Forsberg is out of the team.
Russia know that in relation to this game is that they need a draw to ensure the promotion of the UEFA League of Nations.
This Group B game of League 2, which has only three teams, and so the Russians hope to make a good game.
The set of Stanislav Cherchesov were impressive in the last World Championship, where they were the hosts, reaching the round of 16.
The team has had more than enough time to prepare, and they go into Tuesday’s showdown, probably with a more loose team.
Sweden’s victory over Turkey makes this game extremely important for the Russians, who have to at least not lose to be in first place.
The team is without middleweight Denis Cheryshev and Aleksandr Golovin.
