At 8:45 p.m. at the Ullevi Stadium in Gothenburg, Sweden hosts Kosovo in a match valid for Group B of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The Scandinavians, at the bottom of the group, are still hunting for their first win, while the guests are aiming for three points to consolidate second place.

Tomasson is banking on the attacking tandem formed by Gyökeres and Isak, with Bernhardsson and Svensson on the outside midfield. Defense headed by Hien (Atalanta), between the posts Olsen.

Foda should confirm Dellova and Aliti in the center of defense, with Krasniqi and Gallapeni as full-backs. In the midfield, space will be made for Vojvoda (Como), Advullahu, Rexhbecaj and Muslija, while the forward pair of Muriqi and Albion Rrahmani will act.

The team is expected to be joined by the team’s own duo.
