Sweden will be hoping to build some confidence when they host Moldova in an international friendly match on Thursday evening.
The home side have a difficult Euro 2024 qualifying match away to Belgium on Monday, while Moldova travel to Poland one day prior to that.
Sweden's extremely slim hopes of claiming one of the top two spots in the group - which guarantee automatic qualification for next summer's major tournament in Germany - are resting on them winning all of their final three games, while praying for either Austria or Belgium to pick up no more than one or two points apiece from their own remaining matches.
Those two nations meet each other on Friday for a chance to seal their qualification with a victory, meaning that Sweden could travel to Brussels on Monday knowing that one of the two spots have already been taken away from them.
In truth, the damage has probably already been done in that regard, but every point that they can pick up between now and the end of the campaign will be crucial with only limited playoff spots available to them due to some teams' performances in the UEFA Nations League already guaranteeing them another shot at redemption.
