Shape: Potter has leaned on a flexible 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 with Isak or Gyökeres as the reference point and Elanga/Bardghji providing width. Sweden combine a fairly compact mid-block out of possession with quick vertical attacks and heavy use of wide overloads and cut-backs in possession.

Numbers: In qualifying and the playoffs Sweden’s xG for has trended higher than their actual goals, reflecting a side that creates a decent volume of chances but has occasionally under-finished. Defensively they have allowed a moderate xG against, with set-pieces and crosses remaining the main source of conceded chances rather than central through-balls.
