SWE vs ARM Dream11: Janne Andersson’s new Swedish side, still playing a Hodgson-influenced 4-4-2, is a lot more than exciting than previous sides. The loss of Ibrahimovic due to injury will be disappointing but the likes of Emil Forsberg, Dejan Kulusevski and Alexander Isak will be excited to finish their preparations off well. They come up against an Armenia side that are ever-improving and managed to hold Croatia to a 1-1 draw after winning all three of their qualifying matches in March including a win against Romania. Sweden will be favourites but goals could be in store.
Date: 6 June, Sunday Time: 12:15 AM (IST) Venue: Friends Arena, Solna

Likely Winner:
Sweden will be keen to enter Euro 2020 off the back of another win, but Armenia were excellent against Croatia last time out, and it would not be a surprise to see the two teams play out a low-scoring draw here, with Andersson looking to get his squad through without suffering any fitness concerns. In our SWE vs ARM Today Match Prediction odds, we back for a 1-1 draw in this match.
