The Sweden national football team will host Greece in an international friendly match at Strawberry Arena, Solna, tonight.

The Sweden vs Greece clash is scheduled to kick off at 00:00 WIB on Friday (5 June 2026) early morning.

Sweden will use this game as part of their preparation for the upcoming World Cup campaign, while Greece did not qualify for the tournament.

In the play-off stage, new head coach Graham Potter led Sweden to a 3-1 victory over Ukraine in the semi-final, followed by a dramatic 3-2 win over Poland in the final to secure their spot in the North American World Cup.

Sweden’s most recent outing saw Blagult suffer a 3-1 defeat to Norway in Oslo on Monday, with Crystal Palace forward Jorgen Strand Larsen scoring twice and Antonio Nusa adding another for Norway. Sweden’s only consolation goal came in the 76th minute through striker Alexander Isak.

Potter’s side are placed in Group F at the World Cup, alongside Tunisia (15 June), the Netherlands (20 June), and Japan (26 June).

This encounter against Greece serves as their final opportunity to fine-tune tactics and formations before the tournament begins.

Meanwhile, Greece, who also failed to qualify for the World Cup, will use this friendly — along with another fixture against Italy on 7 June — as preparation for the upcoming UEFA Nations League campaign.

Greece are drawn into a challenging Nations League group that includes Serbia, Germany, and the Netherlands, making matches against teams like Sweden and the Azzurri valuable experiences.

The Ethniki enter this match following two friendlies in March, having lost to Paraguay and drawn with Hungary.

Sweden vs Greece Head-to-Head and Statistics

Across nine previous meetings between the two sides, neither team holds a clear advantage, with both Sweden and Greece registering three wins each, while the remaining three matches ended in draws.

The last encounter between the two nations took place in October 2021, where Blagult emerged victorious with a 2-0 scoreline.

According to the FIFA World Rankings, Sweden are currently ranked 38th in the world, while Greece sit at 47th.

Sweden vs Greece Match Prediction

Greece typically adopt a disciplined low-block defensive shape, relying on quick transitions through midfield. Sweden, on the other hand, employ a more direct approach, and with attacking talents such as Liverpool’s Alexander Isak and Arsenal’s Viktor Gyokeres, they possess enough firepower to trouble any opponent.

We predict that Sweden will claim a home victory in this fixture.
