The UEFA Nations League carries on, this time with a clash between Sweden and Turkey. These two European nations will lock horns on Monday, September 10, with the game being held at the Friends Arena in Solna.
This game will be a tricky one for the away side, as they look to avoid a second consecutive defeat. Turkey began their campaign with a 2-1 defeat to Russia and will hope for a better result when they take on yet another team to have reached the World Cup quarter-finals.
The Crescent Stars are already last in Group A of League B. Sweden is yet to play a game, with Monday's encounter being their opener. The Scandinavian nation impressed in Russia, qualifying out of their group ahead of Mexico and Germany before making it all the way to the last eight.
Blågult's most recent game after the World Cup, a friendly against Austria, ended in a 2-0 defeat. That loss was a disappointing result for a team hoping to roll with the big boys, but they still remain one of the favourites to secure promotion from their group.
Sweden has shown they are a tough side to beat at home. In the World Cup qualifiers, they went unbeaten in their own backyard, securing victories over the likes of France and Italy. They should thus be confident of overcoming Sweden in their UEFA Nations League opener.
