The Scandinavian nation are favourites to progress having finished top of their group ahead of Spain
Sweden face Ukraine at Hampden Park on Tuesday evening in what is the final game of the last-16 at Euro 2020.
The Swedes have been consistent in front of goal, scoring in nine of their last 10 matches in all competitions – drawing their only blank in their opening match of this tournament against Spain. Alexander Isak has been in excellent form despite not scoring, with the Real Sociedad forward attracting plenty of admirers for his all-round play.
Ukraine, meanwhile, came into the competition on a six-match unbeaten run which included a 1-1 draw in World Cup qualifying against France, but Andriy Shevchenko’s men have already lost twice at Euro 2020 and conceded in all three group games.
