Sweden will be meeting Ukraine in the Euro 2020's Round of 16 at Hampden Park, Scotland at 8 PM CET. The Swedish national team, coached by Janne Andersson, will be striving for winning a precious ticket to the quarter-finals after they succeeded in reaching the knockout round by drawing against Spain and doing their best in the other games to secure a qualifying spot. At the moment, Sweden have got all what is needed to beat Ukraine even though their opponent is not as weak as many fans would think.
In fact, Sweden were successful in not letting the injury of their star Zlatan Ibrahimović impact their performances negatively. On the contrary, this absence gave the team an additional boost and determination to do better and play with more collective compactness. Sweden will have to prove their ability to win without one of Europe's best strikers in a crucial match that could create history for the nation.
And they will therefore depend on the form of players like Victor Lindelöf, Albin Ekdal, Emil Forsberg, Dejan Kulusevski, Sebastian Larsson, Andreas Granqvist and others to beat Ukraine.
On the other hand, Ukraine who will not be an easy opponent for Sweden just like they were excellent against Netherlands in the Group stage fixture. The head coach Andriy Shevchenko have already shown that his team can disturb any European team since the players usually play without fear but with constant determination and willingness to win. Players like Andriy Pyatov, Vitaliy Mykolenko, Andriy Yarmolenko, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Ruslan Malinovskyi, Serhiy Sydorchuk, Marlos and Roman Yaremchuk can all be fundamental in this game especially if they approach it with the right mentality.
