With UEFA Euro 2020 around the corner, participants Sweden will look to get a win under their belt when they take on Armenia in an international friendly on Saturday.
Sweden qualified for the Euros by finishing second in Group 'F' of the qualifiers. They accumulated 21 points from 10 games, winning six, drawing thrice and losing once. For Euro 2020, they have been pitted against Spain, Poland and Slovakia in Group 'E'.
Sweden come into this game on the back of a 2-0 win against Finland in their previous friendly match. Robin Quaison and Sebastian Larsson registered their names on the scoresheet for the Blagult. With the win, Sweden made it four straight victories in all competitions.
Meanwhile, Armenia, who failed to qualify for the Euros, are coming off a 1-1 draw with 2018 World Cup finalists Croatia. Ivan Perisic opened the scoring in the 24th minute, but Wbemyar Angulo's second-half strike was enough for the Armenians to earn a well-deserved draw.
