Sweden manager Janne Andersson has a tendency to favour consistency in his squad selection, so don’t be surprised if he sticks with the majority of today’s day throughout the group stages — because we don’t expect them to get much further than that.
They are expecting somewhere between 6,000 and 8,000 Swedish fans in Nizhny Novgorod.
