What: Nations League, group 1 in the C division.

Where: A. Le Coq arena, Tallinn.

When: Kick-off 20.45.

TV/radio: Viaplay and TV6/P4 radiosporten.

At stake: After 2–2 against Slovakia on Friday, Sweden still leads the group and goes for its third win of the autumn after the initial 3–1 against Azerbaijan and 3–0 against Estonia.

Opposition: Estonia has been helpless against Sweden in recent meetings. The most recent one took place in Solna in September and ended with a clear Swedish 3–0 win.

Estonian win: 3–1 at home against Azerbaijan on Friday was a hint that Sweden won't get anything for free. The Estonians had significantly less ball possession and created fewer chances than the Azerbaijanis, but their efficiency was all the more deadly.

Injured defenders: Right-back Maksim Paskotsi went down early against Azerbaijan, and regular left-back Artur Pikk has been missing earlier.

Two names revealed: Centre-back Isak Hien and goalkeeper Viktor Johansson will start. Otherwise, national team coach Jon Dahl Tomasson is keeping his starting eleven secret.

Estonia's squad:

Goalkeepers: Karl Jakob Hein, Real Valladolid, Matvei Igonen, Plovdiv Botev, Karl Andre Vallner, Levadia Tallinn.

Defenders: Karol Mets, St Pauli, Joonas Tamm, Plovdiv Botev, Märten Kuusk, Katowice, Michael Lilander, Paide Linnameeskond, Rasmus Peetson, Levadia Tallinn, Michael Schjønning-Larsen, Levadia Tallinn.
