Austria welcome Sweden for a fourth round clash in European Championship group stage qualifying, staged at Ernst Happel Stadion on Tuesday. Sweden visit Austria for their first meeting since September 2018, when Austria put a 2-0 win on the board at Generali Arena.

After the third round of matches in this group F Austria are number one on seven points, while Sweden have three points as number three. Austria are number 32, while Sweden are number 22 in the FIFA world ranking.

Austria are in with a good shot at topping their group, as it looks like a two-way battle for top spot in this group. At the very least, second place is there for the taking. It may be a stretch to anticipate Sweden topping their group, however it would be unexpected if they failed to qualify for the upcoming tournament from the group.
