Head coach <strong>Jon Dahl Tomasson<\/strong> is under intense pressure, especially after they failed to register a single shot on target in that loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Swedes are desperate to avoid missing yet another major tournament, having already failed to qualify for three of the last four World Cups.<br>This is a must-win fixture \u2014 plain and simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2694\ufe0f Kosovo\u2019s Momentum \u2013 Confident but Cautious<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Kosovo arrive in Solna sitting second in the table, having picked up four points from three matches.<br>Their campaign started brightly with a <strong>2-0 win over Sweden<\/strong> in the reverse fixture last month, followed by a <strong>goalless draw with Slovenia<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, their away form remains inconsistent \u2014 five wins and five losses from their last 11 games (D1). They\u2019ll need to overcome travel fatigue and maintain their defensive discipline to get a result in Sweden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udcca Head-to-Head Record<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Total Meetings: 4<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sweden Wins: 3<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kosovo Wins: 1<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Draws: 0<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Last Match: Kosovo 2-0 Sweden (September 2025)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, all four encounters have been decided \u2018to nil\u2019 \u2014 meaning the winner always keeps a clean sheet.
