Sweden ride their goals into a test against Japan
Sweden arrive on the back of a thumping 5-1 win over Tunisia, with Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres both scoring. They top Group F and face Japan on 26/06/2026. Another win would put them close to the next round.
Japan drew 2-2 with the Netherlands and showed real grit to do it. They twice came from behind. That fighting spirit will be needed against a Sweden side full of confidence.
This has the makings of a fine contest. Sweden carry the form and the firepower. Japan have the resolve and the quality to match them. A win for either could be the result that shapes the group.
