Sweden v Bosnia & Herzegovina: Confirmed lineups and pre-match notes for UEFA Nations League 2026-27

Sweden will host Bosnia & Herzegovina at Friends Arena in their fifth group-stage match of the UEFA Nations League 2026-27, with both sides entering the fixture unbeaten in the competition.

Sweden have won three of their first four UEFA Nations League fixtures and occupy a place in League B, giving them a direct chance to secure promotion to League A; they will play this match at home under manager Graham Potter.

Bosnia & Herzegovina also remain unbeaten in the campaign, claiming two wins from their opening four games and therefore keeping their own promotion hopes to League A alive; the Sergej Barbarez-led side drew 1-1 with Sweden the last time the teams met and will face the added challenge of an away trip.

Alexander Isak has scored in back-to-back games for Liverpool and is set to be deployed as a striker for Sweden alongside Viktor Gyokeres, forming the central attacking partnership for the hosts.

Esmir Bajraktarevic, a 21-year-old for Bosnia & Herzegovina, can be used across midfield and the front line; he can operate as a midfielder, a winger or a striker and is described in the match preview as capable of scoring and creating important plays for his team.

The result at Friends Arena will carry promotion implications: both Sweden and Bosnia & Herzegovina still have a chance to earn promotion to League A, so the outcome will be consequential for each side's Nations League 2026-27 campaign.
