Slovakia
This matchup features the two unbeaten teams in League C, Sweden and Slovakia, both tied at the top of the table after four games.
With identical points, this clash could be the decisive encounter, as a win for either side would likely secure promotion to League B.
The last meeting between these teams ended in a 2-2 draw in Slovakia. Sweden dominated much of that match, taking a 2-0 lead, but defensive lapses allowed Slovakia to claw back and equalize.
Heading into this game, Sweden appears to have the upper hand. Playing at home and boasting superior quality across most positions, they have a strong advantage. Viktor Gyökeres has proven himself a key player for Sweden, capable of delivering decisive goals or assists, and is expected to play a pivotal role in this match.
Meanwhile, Slovakia faces challenges with their lineup. Their main attacker, Ivan Schranz, is still recovering from injury, having played just 30 minutes in his return. His lack of form could further tilt the odds in Sweden's favor.
What we say
Sweden to Win
Given Sweden's need to secure the top spot and the advantage of playing at home, we expect them to win this match and claim the first position, earning promotion to the higher group.
While Slovakia may pose a threat and potentially score, Gyökeres and his teammates are well-equipped to rise to the occasion and overcome the challenge.
