Sweden host Switzerland at the Strawberry Arena in Stockholm on Friday night in what already feels like a must-win clash in Group G of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers.
Jon Dahl Tomasson's side have endured a sluggish start to their campaign, managing just a single point from their opening two fixtures, a 2-2 draw away to Slovenia followed by a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Kosovo, leaving them third in the standings and under pressure to respond.
Switzerland, meanwhile, arrive in the Swedish capital in red-hot form. Murat Yakin’s men sit comfortably atop the group after back-to-back wins, scoring seven goals and keeping two clean sheets in the process.
Unbeaten in their last five matches, the Swiss will see this as their sternest challenge yet but with momentum and confidence firmly on their side, they'll fancy their chances of taking another big stride toward qualification.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the weekly schedule.
