⚽ 33' GOOOOAL!

GOOOOOOOOOOAL! GOOOOOAL! GOAL for Sweden! Benjamin Nygren adds to the score. The midfielder scores the second goal of the match when he takes the rebound left by the goalkeeper after trying to cut out a cross from the left. He was left with the goal at his mercy to push the ball in.

Sweden came close. The home team recovered a ball in a high pressure and it was left to Alexander Isak, who did not hesitate to look for the shot after profiling entering the area, but it went over the goal. It was still 1-0.
6:21 PM4 days ago

10'

The match, even though Sweden has the advantage, is not offering many important actions in front of the goal. It still looks very slow. Sweden are holding the ball and not giving their opponents a chance to get a few yards forward.

Key player - Northern Ireland

In Northern Ireland, the presence of Isaac Price stands out. The 21-year-old midfielder is one of the team's most outstanding players, having played a decisive role in the UEFA Nations League with four goals. With his country's jersey, he has seven goals in 25 matches.
4:35 PM4 days ago

Key player - Sweden

In Sweden, the presence of Viktor Gyokeres stands out. The 26-year-old striker is one of the most outstanding players of the team, being too determinant in the UEFA Nations League, scoring nine goals and four assists. With the shirt of his country he has 22 celebrations in 40 matches.
4:30 PM4 days ago

Sweden vs Northern Ireland history

These two teams have met seven times. The statistics show equality, as each has been victorious on three occasions, leaving the balance of a draw.

We go back almost 30 years to find that there is only one precedent of this friendly match. It was in April 1996, when Sweden won 2-1 with goals from Martin Dahlin and Klas Ingesson, with Gerry McMahon scoring for the Northern Irish.

4:25 PM4 days ago

Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland is coming off a one-goal draw with Switzerland in a friendly game last Friday. Their last loss was a narrow defeat to Bulgaria last September.

However, that should not be a distraction for Michael O'Neill's charges, who performed impressively in Group 3 of League C in the 2024-25 Nations League, taking 11 points from their six matches to top the group and earn promotion to League B.

Northern Ireland has not been to a World Cup finals since 1986 and is taking the opportunity to keep its players in good shape before starting its World Cup qualifying campaign in September.

4:20 PM4 days ago

Sweden

In their first game of the year, Sweden were stunned by Luxembourg last Saturday, even with key players Alexander Isak and Anthony Elanga missing, and suffered a narrow defeat.

Although the match was a friendly, Jon Dahl Tomasson's side, who performed excellently in their last UEFA Nations League campaign, winning Group 1 of League C to secure promotion to League B with a record of 16 points from six matches, will be looking for revenge in front of their home crowd.

Sweden finished 2024 with three consecutive victories over Estonia, Slovakia and Azerbaijan, scoring 11 goals in the process, and this first international window of the year will be a chance to keep up the pace before they begin their World Cup qualifying campaign in September.

4:15 PM4 days ago

The match will be played at the Friends Arena

The Sweden vs Northern Ireland match will be played at the Friends Arena, located in the municipality of Solna, in the city of Stockholm, Sweden. This venue, inaugurated in 2012, has a capacity for 50,622 spectators.
