Jan Oblak, 29 years old goalkeeper, player of Atlético de Madrid and has earned his place as one of the best goalkeepers in the world, although his national team will not be in Qatar, they can still fight to not be one of the worst in the Nations League, the quality of the goalkeeper is more than proven and season after season he performs great.

The striker Emil Forsberg, Leipzig player has had an acceptable performance with Sweden, playing in 5 games, scoring two goals, being the main striker of the team, is not going through a great moment, but this could be a great opportunity.

The Slovenian national team did not have a good qualifying campaign for Qatar 2022, as it finished in fourth place in group H with 14 points, 9 points behind the leader Croatia. This team has not been able to perform well and has been lagging behind, for this edition of the Nations League the team has only won in the recent matchday in which they beat Norway to escape from the last position and it will be worth a point to achieve the permanence, in case of losing they will be relegated to League C since this match is a confrontational duel.

The Swedish National Team has four consecutive defeats, their last victory was in June when they beat Slovenia. This team was left out of the World Cup in the last match after playing the playoffs in which they beat Czech Republic in the semifinals, but lost against Poland.
