Match Preview:
Sweden will have to learn to move on and stop mourning over Zlatan who retired after Sweden’s defeat in the Euro 2016. However, that heart breaking moment actually turned into Sweden’s bane into boon. Sweden formed a better team with more resilient attack and has won seven of their last 10 games in the World Cup group stage. Being clubbed with Germany, Mexico and South Korea in the group, they are most likely to follow Germany’s footstep and reach the Round of 16.
However, this match would be very crucial for South Korea if they are to be more than a group stage punching bag in the world cup but that’s doubtful because of their current form. They have won one game in their last six games and would want to change that in this game. The game is to be played at Nizhny Novgorod Stadium.
