After officially securing promotion back to League B, Sweden will enter their final UEFA Nations League group stage match without any pressure, hosting Azerbaijan in Solna on Tuesday evening.
While Sweden are assured of finishing top of their group, Azerbaijan will finish bottom of Group C Pot 1 and face relegation.
Latest Sweden vs Azerbaijan team information
One of the changes to Sweden's squad will come from injury, with Manchester United centre-back Victor Lindelof forced off in Saturday's 2-1 win over Slovakia and facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
With promotion already secured, manager Jon Dahl Tomasson can make changes to the line-up, so Sweden's dangerous attacking trio of Alexander Isak, Viktor Gyokeres and Dejan Kulusevski may not play together in this match.
Tomasson has called up Isac Lidberg, who has scored 10 goals in 12 games for the club this season, after a number of players withdrew, including Nottingham Forest's Anthony Elanga. The Darmstadt striker could start alongside Tottenham Hotspur's Lucas Bergvall if Tomasson decides to change his line-up and rest some key players.
Meanwhile, Azerbaijan are facing a number of injury problems, with players such as Emin Mahmudov and Rustam Ahmadzada having withdrawn from the squad.
Key striker Mahir Emreli is back from suspension and could replace Qarabag's Musa Gurbanli, who replaced Emreli in last weekend's game.
Experienced goalkeeper Mehdi Jannatov has been dropped from the squad after conceding 11 goals in four Nations League games, so Rza Jafarov will get his third start after keeping a clean sheet against Estonia.
Latest predicted lineup for Sweden vs Azerbaijan
Sweden:
Johansson; Starfelt, Hien, Gudmundsson; Holm, Karlstrom, Bergvall, Sema; Forsberg; Isak, Lidberg
Azerbaijan:
Jafarov; Aliyev, Mustafazada, B. Huseynov, Mammadov, Cafarguliyev; Sheydayev, Nuriyev, Isayev, Bayramov; Emreli
Latest football commentary Sweden vs Azerbaijan
After easily overcoming their opponents in League C this season, Sweden officially secured promotion on Saturday night, beating Slovakia 2-1 at home.
Sweden's potent attacking duo Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres both found the net, with Gyokeres continuing to enhance his reputation by becoming the 2024-25 Nations League's top scorer with five strikes.
With such impressive attacking prowess, it is no surprise that Jon Dahl Tomasson's side have secured top spot in their group with a game in hand. Sweden can now relax as they look ahead to next year's World Cup qualifiers.
If they can maintain their two-goal advantage against Slovakia, Sweden will have had a perfect campaign. They started their campaign with a 3-1 win away to Azerbaijan in September, with Isak and Gyokeres both on target, and now just need to complete their remaining home game.
Meanwhile, Azerbaijan are bottom of League C after five games, with just one point. They have lost 3-1 to Sweden and Estonia, and twice to Slovakia, and face a decisive match on Saturday night.
After failing to break down Estonia's defence in Qabala, where they drew 0-0 despite dominating possession, Azerbaijan are facing relegation to League D - Europe's lowest tier.
The bottom two teams in League C will be relegated, with Azerbaijan currently bottom of the group after a poor run of form. The team has not been able to turn things around under veteran coach Fernando Santos, with their last win coming five months ago against Kazakhstan. Ending their win drought in Sweden will be a daunting task.
