Here is a guide to the decisive match, the biggest the national team has played in years:
What: World Cup playoff final - Sweden vs Poland.
When: Strawberry Arena, kick-off 8:45 p.m. on Tuesday.
TV/radio: Viaplay / P4 Radio Sport.
The point is: The winner qualifies for this summer's World Cup and will play in the same group as Tunisia, the Netherlands and Japan.
Swedish injury situation: Isak Hien left the squad on Saturday. Hammarby's Victor Eriksson was called up on Sunday. Eric Smith has also left the squad due to injury.
