Key players to watch in Sweden vs Slovakia

Viktor Gyokeres (Sweden)

Viktor Gyokeres has been in red-hot form for Sporting CP this season and is easily the player to keep an eye on in this match. He will be playing up front with Isak, who has been in decent form himself, and the duo could combine for a few goals.

Martin Dubravka (Slovakia)

Martin Dubravka will play a key role in the outcome of this match as the goalkeeper is up against two strikers in great form. If he manages to bring his A game, then Slovakia might get a positive result from the match.

Sweden vs Slovakia Prediction

Sweden have the in-form players going into the match, and that should be their favorites. They are also playing at home, so it would be a surprise if they do not win the match.

Prediction: Sweden 3-1 Slovakia
