Slovakia captain Marek Hamsik: "Sweden have been playing the same football for many years, have been together for a long time and have cohesive and aggressive players.

"We should match them if we do not want them to beat us. However, entering the championship helped us to be in positive mood and we have to show it again on the pitch."

Sweden coach Janne Andersson: "Slovakia played in a clear way in a number of games now. Our analysis is that it's not a Spain type of game that we'll meet, it'll be a different type of game.

"We expect to have a little more ball in the build-up phase and we'll have to drive the match forward more. They sit quite deep and they are very good in their counter-attacking phase."

Slovakia are unbeaten in their last six games (W2, D4), their longest unbeaten run since June 2016.

Sweden had won their previous five games before their goalless draw against Spain.

Slovakia defender Milan Skriniar has scored three goals in his last four international appearances, after failing to score in his first 37.

As well as scoring the winning goal, the Inter Milan man had the most touches (69) and made the most clearances (10) and blocks (two) against Poland.

This is the first meeting between Sweden and Slovakia at a major tournament.

The most recent encounter was a 1-1 draw in a friendly in October 2018.

Sweden are unbeaten in all five of their previous games against Slovakia (W2, D3).

The Swedes won 6-0 in a friendly in Abu Dhabi in January 2017.

Sweden's goalkeeper had more touches than any of his team-mates against Spain.

They had 14.9% of the ball and completed 89 passes. Fewer than one good pass every minute.

Slovakia surprised a few people with their win over Poland and that result means the onus will be on Sweden to break them down - the exact opposite of their approach against Spain.

Lawro's prediction: 1-1

A win would not guarantee Sweden a place in the last 16 but with this new format of some third-placed teams going through, it would be unlikely four points wouldn't be enough.

Similar for Slovakia if this is a draw.

At Euro 2016 every team with three points and a level goal difference got into the last 16.

Sweden withheld near constant Spain pressure to draw their opening game 0-0 in Seville.

Alexander Isak had a rare Swedish chance when he hit the post.

Slovakia surprised 10-man Poland to win their opener 2-1 on Monday with Milan Skriniar scoring the winner.

An own goal from Wojciech Szczesny gave Slovakia the lead but Karol Linetty equalised before Grzegorz Krychowiak's red card proved the turning point.

Sweden manager Janne Andersson names the same side that started in Monday's goalless draw with Spain.

Dejan Kulusevski returns to the bench after missing Sweden's opening game after testing positive for Covid-19.

Sweden XI: Olsen, Lustig, Lindelof, Danielson, Augustinsson, Larsson, Olsson, Ekdal, Forsberg, Berg, Isak.
