Sweden aims to bounce back from their 2-1 defeat to Denmark as they face Serbia at Friends Arena in Solna. Despite missing out on a spot at the EURO 2024 finals, the Swedes are still considered favorites against a Serbian team struggling defensively. Burnley’s Hjalmar Ekdal is unlikely to play due to an injury from the last warm-up match, so Carl Starfelt is expected to fill in. Newcastle United forward Alexander Isak is anticipated to lead the attack for the home team.
On the other side, Serbia did not impress in their 2-1 loss to Austria. Considering their defensive challenges, it’s predicted that Sweden will secure a win in this friendly. Al Hilal striker Aleksandar Mitrovic is expected to return to Serbia’s starting lineup, along with Fiorentina defender Nikola Milenkovic. However, Nemanja Maksimovic will likely miss the match due to injury.
**Prediction:** Sweden 2-1 Serbia.
