Both Sweden and Croatia have two straight wins, and on Wednesday the nations will compete for the group victory at Malmö Arena. The winner will take two points into the intermediate round.
"These two games have been very good, but it hasn't been a top nation that we've played against. So it's a bit difficult to say how we stand up against a good Croatia," says centre back Felix Claar, thinking of Blågult's victories against the Netherlands and Georgia.
When Croatia took silver at the World Cup a year ago - losing to Denmark in the final in Oslo - the Croats were able to play a tough defensive game.
"When you sat on the couch and watched how they handled the Danes in the final - it was downright barbaric. But I also like that in itself," says defender Oscar Bergendahl, who, like Claar, missed last year's World Cup due to injury.
Defensive juggernaut Bergendahl has his tactics ready.
"We'll have to meet them with the same approach. It doesn't bother me to hit them a little on the nose," says the 30-year-old.
