Based on the statistics, both teams started the qualifiers cautiously, creating few chances. After three rounds, the Swedish team shows an average of 2.0 goals scored and 2.0 xG, with 6 goals conceded / 4.8 xGA; The inexperienced Johansson is still in goal, which increases the uncertainty. The Kosovars come in with an attacking average of 1.0 goals and 0.9 xG, but their stable defense (0.7 xGA, 10 shots against per match) resulted in two consecutive clean sheets. The overall picture is a mid-tempo (approx. 93 passes/possession), physical (average 27 fouls) clash, where the Swedes need to dominate, but their form is inconsistent. The main risk is the effectiveness of the Swedish attackers (Isak, Gyökeres): if they miss the chances again, the Scandinavians could even drop points.
