Team News

  • Sweden know that this will be their last game at Euro 2012, so Erik Hamren may give a couple of players a chance to play on the big stage for the first time in the tournament.
  • Neither Rosenberg or Elmander have shone in their lone striker roles thus far, so Ola Toivonen could be given a chance to start through the centre.
  • Elmander, in fact, will definitely not play as he missed training on Monday with a foot injury, along with Rasmus Elm, who is also a doubt.
  • Yohan Cabaye has trained with the rest of the squad after suffering a slight thigh problem and will be fit for Sweden on Tuesday.
  • Gael Clichy impressed having replaced Evra at left-back last time out and should keep his place, while Menez could also start after scoring against Ukraine.
  • Laurent Blanc could rotate his squad a little once again, with a draw enough to see them progress against a Sweden side who are already out.

Prediction

  • Sweden already know their fate but will be keen to avoid going home without having picked up any points, where a point is all that France need to progress.
  • Blanc's side are, however, in the driving seat to win the group and will be keen to do so, knowing that Spain may well await the runners-up in the quarter finals.
  • Though pride can often be enough to spur a team on, along with wanting to avoid disappointing the fans, Sweden will have had the stuffing taken out of them after losing a lead against England and it's hard to see beyond les Bleus here.
