Sweden will take on Ukraine in the Round of 16 clash in Glasgow on Tuesday. Both teams had contrasting results in the group stage. While Sweden topped their group en route to the knockouts, Ukraine managed to book their berth as one of the four third-placed teams.

Sweden picked up a hard-fought 3-2 win over Poland in their final league game. Emil Forsberg scored a brace while a late strike from Viktor Claesson helped Sweden prevail in the match. Meanwhile, Ukraine succumbed to a 1-0 loss to Austria. Sweden and Ukraine have clashed on four occasions, with Ukraine winning three of those games. Sweden managed to win one match.

Juventus ace Dejan Kulusevski has recovered from COVID-19 as has been declared fit to play against Ukraine. Meanwhile, Ukraine have few injury concerns with Viktor Tsyhankov and Oleksander Zubkov struggling with calf injuries. Overall, it’s set for an enthralling affair. Ukraine have a good squad at its disposal and have played some good football in Euro 2020. However, getting past a strong Sweden defence might not be easy for inexperienced Ukraine.
