We said: Sweden 1-0 Moldova

With both nations having more important qualifying fixtures on the horizon, it is difficult to envisage either playing this friendly at full intensity, but the hosts clearly have more to prove after a difficult run of results. Sweden's hopes of qualifying for Euro 2024 appear to be very slim at this stage, whereas Moldova could compete at a major tournament for the first time in their history after winning consecutive matches, but we believe that Andersson's side will return to victorious ways here.
