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.
