Sweden's situation in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers is becoming increasingly difficult, while two of its most expensive strikers, Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyökeres, are at the center of great pressure to turn the team's fortunes around.
After three matches played in Group B, Sweden has only 1 point and holds the last place in the table, behind Switzerland (9 points), Kosovo (4 points) and Slovenia (2 points).
A poor performance in the upcoming match against Kosovo, which takes place this Monday, could lead the team into a deep crisis and seriously complicate the path to the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico.
In addition to Isak and Gyökeres, the team also includes other prominent talents such as Svensson (Dortmund), Elanga (Newcastle), Bardghji (Barcelona) and Bergvall (Tottenham), who are part of the young generation expected to lead the Swedish team in the coming years.
Swedish football has had a difficult period this century, failing to qualify for the 2010, 2014 and 2022 World Cups.
Only in 2018, Sweden managed to secure participation after a strong confrontation with Italy.
The pressure on the two Swedish attackers is constantly increasing, until against Kosovo in Pristina, both were blocked quite well by the Dardanian defense.
Tonight is the next test for both the expensive Swedish strikers and the Dardanian defense, and if they manage to stop these two again, then the value of our players will increase even more. /Telegraph/
