Match Analysis

Netherlands: Netherlands Tested by Real Quality

The Netherlands face their toughest Group F test in MD2. Sweden have Isak and Gyokeres in attack — arguably the strongest striker pairing in the group — and Kulusevski creating from wide.

Koeman will set up slightly more defensively than in MD1. Virgil van Dijk against Isak is the key individual battle — if Van Dijk wins it, Netherlands have enough going forward to win.

Sweden: Sweden's Chance to Top the Group

A win here puts Sweden in the driver's seat for Group F. Isak at peak form and Gyokeres on the bench providing impact — this is Sweden's deepest attacking squad since Ibrahimovic's era.

Viktor Gyokeres scored 43 goals for Sporting in 2023-24. He's Sweden's most lethal option and Janne Andersson knows it — he may start both Isak and Gyokeres in a 4-4-2.
