Sweden predicted lineup vs Netherlands at FIFA World Cup 2026

Can the attacking duo of Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres propel Sweden to win over the favourites, the Netherlands?

Anchored on the flat coastal plains of Southeast Texas, Houston Stadium (NRG Stadium) in Texas, USA, gears up to host the match week 2 fixtures in Group F of the FIFA World Cup 2026, where two European giants, Sweden and the Netherlands, lock horns in what is set to be a thrilling contest.

Blågult are not even among the best-ranked teams in Group F, yet they find themselves atop the group after that glorious 5-1 win over Tunisia in the opening matchweek.

They are led by the experienced Graham Potter, who has previously managed top English teams such as Brighton and Hove Albion, West Ham and Chelsea.

They are just a win away from making it to the knockouts, but the game ahead won’t be an easy one as they face one of the favourites to win the World Cup, the Netherlands, who would be raring to go all guns blazing after that frustrating 2-2 draw against Japan.
