Team News

Sweden
Denmark
  • Sweden will be without midfield enforcer Pontus Wernbloom (thigh injury) for the first-leg of the Scandinavian derby.
  • Kim Kallstrom is struggling with a bout of illness and there are also concerns over Oscar Lewicki, who was diagnosed with concussion earlier this month.
  • The absences of Kallstrom, Lewicki and Ekdal could prove problematic for the home side, leaving a gaping hole to fill in the middle of the park.
  • Denmark will be without Pione Sisto (groin injury) and Leon Andreasen, who is unavailable after cutting himself opening a parcel.
  • Their starting XI shouldn't be too dissimilar from what has been seen in recent matches.

Head to Head Stats

Prediction

  • Sweden have won 45 of the 105 encounters between the nations, but Denmark have won each of the last four keeping a clean sheet in each of those matches. However, they've failed to win any of their last eight matches on the road.
  • Zlatan Ibrahimovic has scored seven of Sweden's last 11 qualifiers goals and their hopes of making the next summer's competition are very much pinned on his shoulders here.
  • Conversely, Nicklas Bendtner has also proved similarly indispensible to Denmark's hopes having played a direct hand in six of their last seven goals in qualification (2 goals + 4 assists).
