What: European Football Championship Qualifiers.
where: Old Olive, Gothenburg.
when: Tonight at 19:00.
TV/Radio: SVT/SVT Play and P4 Radiosporten.
conditions: It's the last qualifying match and Sweden need to win to take the second automatic spot at Euro 2025 behind already qualified France. If England score, it's the Lionesses who clinch their place at the European Championship. Sweden will then have to try to reach the tournament via a play-off this autumn.
Injury status: IFK Norrköping midfielder My Cato injured his arm in training last week and is unavailable. Otherwise, Sweden will look to have a fully fit squad. That also includes Chelsea defender Natalie Bjorn and Houston midfielder Elaine Robinson, who both had injury problems before the rally and therefore missed Friday's game against France.
The most notable outage in England was Chelsea star Lauren James being forced to withdraw from the set. There, Sarina Wiegman loses one of her biggest attacking threats.
Resistance: England are the reigning European champions and had a good run of form against Sweden when they won the semi-final 4-0 on their way to gold two years ago. In their opening European Championship qualifier at Wembley in April, the blue and yellow women were given some vindication when they produced a superb effort to draw 1-1. The pressure is on, too, for England who, like Sweden, are expected to make it to the European Championships.
Sweden, it can start at eleven (4-3-3): Zisira Musovic – Hanna Lundqvist, Linda Sembrant, Magdalena Eriksson, Jonna Andersson – Filippa Engeldahl, Kosovare Asllani, Julia Szigioti Ulmi – Johanna Reiting-Kannered, Madeleine Janoje, Fridolina Rolfo.
