Forecast Gol.bg:
The good news in the camp of the Swedes is that Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be ready for today's game. AC Milan striker had a problem with an injury from which, however, recovered and will be able to help their homeland.
Eric Hamre is expected to launch Johan Elmander in place of Markus Rosenberg in the lineup of "Tre Kronur."
Anders Svensson experienced hand is expected to partner with Kim Kalstryom in midfield, despite being overlooked against Ukraine on behalf of a much younger Rasmus Elm.
Roy Hodgson on the other hand is not expected to make any change in its composition compared with the match against France.
Danny Welbeck and Ashley Young will be back in the attack of "Three Lions" and James Milner and Chamberlain-Oksleyd likely to retain their positions on the wings.
Sweden has become a nightmare for British Euro 92 when eliminates the "Three Lions" in the final match of group stage.
Fate of Team Eric Hamre this tournament, however, hangs in the balance after the Swedes lost to host Ukraine 1:2.
Last year both sides confronted each other in a control match, the victory of England over the Scandinavians of "Wembley" was the first of 43 years.
The English have never defeated the Swedes at world or European championships, and statistics is five draws and two losses.
Our forecast for today's game, however, is a success for England.
Result: Sweden - England 1:2
