Pre-match analysis
How Japan vs Sweden sets up
🇯🇵Japan
Japan will look to set the tempo, control the opening exchanges, and build through midfield and wide pressure.
🇸🇪Sweden
Sweden will aim to stay compact, frustrate the press, and threaten on quick transitions and set pieces.
What to watch: the first duel after every turnover, set-piece quality at both ends, and which manager blinks first on substitutions as the game opens up.
