-----------------------------

Sweden wrap up their pre-World Cup schedule with a friendly match against Greece as they look to finalize preparations for the tournament. Meanwhile, Greece are already shifting focus toward the upcoming UEFA Nations League in September after beginning their new cycle of preparations.

Team Analysis:

Sweden head into the World Cup with optimism under Graham Potter after securing qualification, but recent inconsistency and a 3-1 defeat to Norway underline that they are still a work in progress despite having key attackers like Viktor Gyökeres and Alexander Isak. Greece, meanwhile, arrive in poor form after missing out on World Cup qualification and struggling to score in recent matches, highlighting a clear lack of momentum ahead of their next competitive cycle.

Player Situation:

Sweden may see Kristoffer Nordfeldt and Victor Lindelöf return to the starting XI, while Alexander Isak could feature again after coming off the bench, though Viktor Gyökeres is likely to start on the sidelines following his Champions League final involvement. Greece will be without captain Tasos Bakasetas, potentially giving Christos Mouzakitis a chance in midfield, as Ivan Jovanović balances the need for results with giving experience to a largely inexperienced squad.

Result Prediction:

Sweden could approach this match with reduced intensity as a key player is likely to be rested and attention shifts toward the upcoming tournament under Graham Potter. Even so, they are still expected to have enough quality to avoid defeat, though Greece may be motivated enough to make it a competitive encounter.

Predicted Result: Sweden 1-1 Greece.
