2026-2027 Nations League: Sweden vs. Bosnia, Probable Lineups

Sweden faces Bosnia and Herzegovina on Saturday, November 14, in the penultimate matchday of Group B4 in the UEFA Nations League. The Swedes lead the standings with 10 points and have the chance to secure promotion to League A with one matchday to spare, provided they win. Bosnia and Herzegovina trails with eight points and, with an away win, could overtake Sweden and take the lead in the group.

Sweden remains undefeated after the first four matchdays. Graham Potter’s team began their campaign with two consecutive wins, defeating Romania 2-1 and Poland 3-1. This was followed by a 1-1 draw in Bosnia and Herzegovina, before a 1-0 away victory over Romania.

For the match against Bosnia and Herzegovina, Potter is expected to rely on the attacking duo of Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyökeres, with Alexander Bernhardsson and Sebastian Nanasi providing support. There’s also good news with Dejan Kulusevski returning to the squad; he could see playing time during the match.

Bosnia and Herzegovina, too, heads into the match having yet to lose in the group stage. Sergej Barbarez’s team has earned four points in their two matches against Poland and secured an important 4-2 victory in Romania. The main change to the starting lineup is expected to be in defense, where Tarik Muharemović’s suspension opens the door for Sead Kolašinac.

Up front, following Edin Džeko’s retirement from the national team, the head coach is expected to rely on Ermedin Demirović and Haris Tabaković. This duo is called upon to carry on the captain’s legacy and lead Bosnia in the race for promotion.
