Shape: Sweden typically use a compact 4-4-2/4-2-3-1, prioritising defensive organisation and vertical attacks. Width comes from wingers attacking space early, with Isak as the focal point and Kulusevski drifting inside to link play.
Numbers: Recent qualifiers show Sweden generating modest but efficient expected goals, relying heavily on Isak and Kulusevski for high-value chances. Defensively they tend to concede volume from distance rather than frequent box touches when their block is set.
