Sweden and Estonia are back in action on Friday when they go head-to-head in a friendly matchup at the Stelios Kyriakides Stadium.
This will be a second consecutive clash between the two nations, with Daniel Backstrom’s men claiming a 2-0 victory when the sides met in the 2024 European Championship qualifiers back in November.
Sweden ended their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign last time out when they picked up a comfortable 2-0 victory over Estonia at Friends Arena.
Despite that result, Backstrom’s side failed to book their spot in Germany as they finished third in Group F with 10 points from eight matches.
Sweden, who are currently 26th in the latest FIFA World Rankings, will look to make it four consecutive wins over Estonia and begin the new year on a high.
November’s defeat against Sweden summed up Estonia’s horror Euro qualifying campaign as they finished rock-bottom in Group F.
Thomas Häberli’s men failed to win their eight group matches while claiming just one point from a possible 24.
Estonia head into the weekend without a win in their last 10 matches across all competitions and have picked up just one win in their last seven friendly matches.
