4–0 away against Luxembourg on Friday evening was on the low side and likely settled the European Championship playoff match already halfway in.
Sweden has to admit that as well.
Can you lose 4–0?
I hope not, says forward Fridolina Rolfö.
I think we look like the significantly stronger team. The hope is that we also have an even better plan at home on Gamla Ullevi. With the audience's support, we can get an even better result.
Balkan next
Midfielder Filippa Angeldahl, who initiated the goal scoring against Luxembourg with a cannon shot in the cross, is also thinking that Sweden can already start looking a bit towards the next playoff stage. There, Bosnia-Herzegovina or Serbia (2–2 in the first meeting on Friday) await in a decisive double match for a spot in the European Championship 2025.
We're not going to lose it, says Angeldahl ahead of Tuesday's return match.
So why should people then take themselves to Gamla Ullevi on Tuesday?
To come and cheer us on. We have a very good starting position, but I shouldn't stand here and be cocky, we have one more match and it needs to be done. But it's clear that the starting position is very good. We'll give it our all on Ullevi and want Swedish fans there to cheer us on, says Filippa Angeldahl.
"Then it can get fun"
Chelsea forward Johanna Rytting Kaneryd won't have any problems loading up for Tuesday's match in Gothenburg.
We need to make a good match, above all for the future. We need to get things working. And I think that when we do, we're fun to watch. We're not satisfied yet, but we're really going to push and work hard to win with even more next match, says Rytting Kaneryd.
National team coach Peter Gerhardsson has a few more reasons why blue-yellow supporters should make their way to Gamla Ullevi. Like that Sweden will offer a better performance than on Friday.
If you like football and the national team, you should come. I think we'll make a better total performance there. And then it can get fun, says Gerhardsson.
