Sweden and Belgium will begin their respective 2024 European Championship qualification campaigns with a Group F encounter in Solna on Friday night.

The home nation will enter the match off the back of four straight friendly victories, while this will represent Belgium’s first match since being eliminated in the group stage of the 2022 World Cup.

Players to watch: Buoyed by scoring a last-gasp winner for Newcastle before the break, Sweden’s Alexander Isak has registered the second goal of the game with his last four international goals.

Belgium’s Romelu Lukaku has made himself at home in Euro qualifiers, netting in five successive games, with the last three of those seeing him assist one too.

Hot streak: Belgium have not conceded more than one goal in an away Euro qualifier since 2011.

Sweden 1-1 Belgium

Belgium have won their last three games against Sweden, with the home side not beating their opponents here since 1961. This has all of the makings of a very interesting game, but we are struggling to separate the two teams, ultimately settling on a low-scoring draw.
