Sweden and Slovenia face off in Stockholm on Tuesday night in a fight to escape relegation to the UEFA Nations League's third division. Following a dismal Group 4 campaign, the hosts must win to survive in League B; any other result will see the Slovenes stay up at their cost. Home side followed an opening-day victory against Slovenia with three losses throughout the summer, two of which came at the hands of their Nordic rivals Norway, and were defeated for the second time on Saturday by Serbia. Despite going ahead early on via Viktor Claesson, the Serbian star striker Aleksandar Mitrovic subsequently banged in a hat-trick as the Swedes were defeated 4-1 - not the ideal answer to Andersson's plea for a 'back-to-basics' attitude. Sweden has already surrendered ten goals in five Nations League games, and their long-held reputation as cautious but competent opponents appears to have been derailed in recent months.After been relegated from League A the previous season, such a fate would add to the misery in a country accustomed to putting the best teams to the test in international competition, including that now-distant trip to the last eight in Russia four years ago.Slovenia just made it to the second division of the Nations League last year after finishing bottom of their League C group with no victories in six matches in the first edition.Matjaz Kek's men have suffered just two losses thus far, both at home against Sweden on the first matchday: a 2-0 defeat in Slovenia, one of three in their past 11 overall.As a result, they travel to Stockholm with a great chance of escaping relegation, and their fate is in their own hands with 90 minutes remaining. After a difficult World Cup qualifying campaign in which they placed fourth in their group, the world's 65th-ranked team would consider such a performance a significant triumph before embarking on the long path to Euro 2024. But this is a typical game where teams as Slovenia doesn't do well. They collapse under pressure. This should be seen tonight too and I give more chances for Sweden to win, then any other result.

瑞典和斯洛文尼亚将于周二晚上在斯德哥尔摩对峙，以争夺降级到欧洲国家联盟第三分区的机会。在惨淡的第 4 组战役之后，东道主必须获胜才能在 B 联赛中生存；任何其他结果都将使斯洛文尼亚人付出代价。主队在开幕日战胜斯洛文尼亚之后，整个夏天都输了三场，其中两场输给了他们的北欧对手挪威，周六第二次被塞尔维亚击败。尽管通过维克托·克莱森（Viktor Claesson）早早取得领先，但塞尔维亚明星前锋亚历山大·米特罗维奇（Aleksandar Mitrovic）随后上演了帽子戏法，瑞典人以 4-1 被击败——这不是安德森呼吁“回归基础”态度的理想答案。瑞典已经在五场欧国联比赛中丢了十个球，他们长期以来作为谨慎但有能力的对手的声誉在最近几个月似乎已经出轨。在上赛季从甲级联赛降级后，这样的命运将在一个习惯于在国际比赛中测试最好的球队的国家增加了痛苦，包括四年前在俄罗斯的最后八强之旅。斯洛文尼亚去年刚刚进入国家联盟的第二分区在第一版的六场比赛中，他们在联赛 C 组中排名垫底。到目前为止，Matjaz Kek 的球队只遭受了两场失利，都是在第一个比赛日主场对阵瑞典的比赛中：2-0 击败斯洛文尼亚，其中一场过去11次总成绩3次。因此，他们前往斯德哥尔摩有很大的保级机会，而在比赛还剩90分钟的情况下，他们的命运掌握在自己手中。在经历了艰难的世界杯预选赛并在小组中排名第四之后，世界排名第 65 位的球队在踏上通往 2024 年欧洲杯的漫长道路之前会认为这样的表现是一个重大胜利。但这是一场典型的比赛，斯洛文尼亚队做得不好。他们倒在压力。今晚也应该看到这一点，我给瑞典更多获胜的机会，然后是任何其他结果。
