Matchday 2 of the UEFA Nations League will deliver an anticipated matchup between the defending champions and the Blagult.

How did Sweden and Portugal's previous UEFA Nations League campaign end?

Sweden was promoted to League A of the UEFA Nations League after winning their group over Russia and Turkey. The yellow and blue side managed to win seven points out of twelve they played for, which was the same amount accomplished by Russia. Nevertheless, the Swedish side had a better goal difference than the Russian side (+2 compared to Russia's +1) and managed to join the top European teams in this competition.

Things couldn't have gone better for Portugal in the previous edition of the UEFA Nations League, as A Seleccao claimed the tournament's title with their 1-0 win over the Netherlands. Previously, Portugal won their group over Italy and Poland, and they managed to make it to the title match thanks to a 3-1 win over Switzerland, where Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat-trick.

What is Sweden and Portugal's form ahead of this match?

Sweden saw a seven-game streak without a loss coming to an end during the weekend, as France claimed a 1-0 win over them on Matchday 1 of this group. Before that, the team coached by Janne Andersson scored thirteen goals, while their defensive unit had only conceded twice.

The Portuguese side will try to keep the form that has seen them win six out of their last seven games, including their 4-1 victory over Croatia last Saturday. The Portuguese side has only conceded five goals, while on the other side of the pitch, their strikers have found the back of the net 25 times.
