The Swedes have arguably been the surprise of the Champions League. They are topping a group also containing seasoned European campaigners like Chelsea and Real Madrid.
Mak Lind's side are still the underdogs but are capable of springing an upset if given the oportunity. However, expect Chelsea to bounce back from the weekend disappointment with a cruising victory.
