Sweden hosts Croatia in round 5 of the UEFA Nations League A. The match will be played on Saturday, November 14th at Friends Arena (Solna)
Janne Andersson managed to bring his players to the top division of the Nations League. Unfortunately, it is difficult for the Scandinavians to be competitive among the best national teams in Europe. The Yellow-Blues play defense first but can barely cope with high-speed attacks from opponents. Sweden is in the last place in the group. The national team has zero points and a goal difference of 1:8. In the past, Sweden has always had Ibrahimovic, who was capable of deciding the outcome of matches alone. Now there is no such a skilled striker in the team. The leaders of the Scandinavian team include players such as Lindelof, Olsen, Claesson, and Forsberg. Young footballers Kulusevski and Isak look promising, and they are the future of Sweden.

The Croats shone at the 2018 World Cup, which brought Modric a golden ball and a silver set of medals for the national team. In the last Nations League, Zlatko Dalic's men took the last line in the group. Now Croatia is ahead of Sweden by three points. The main thing for the team is not to lose the advantage over the Scandinavians in a head-to-head meeting. However, the Croatian national team can no longer compete for the first two places in the standings. The backbone of Croatia has been preserved since participation in the 2018 World Cup, except for a couple of players (Subasic, Mandzukic, and Vrsaljko). New stars and leaders appear in the team - Vlašić, Petkovic, and Brekalo. The experienced old-timers of the national team are still in the ranks, that is, Lovren, Kovacic, Modric, Vida, and Perisic.
In the first match, the men of Dalic gained a home victory with a minimal advantage (2:1). On the road, it will be even more difficult for the Checkered Ones. Sweden is eager to leave the last place, for which it needs to achieve home success. The teams' defensive lines are far from perfect, and both teams will play aggressively on the pitch. We think there is a reason to be on the exchange of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
