Sweden will be aiming to secure automatic promotion when they host Bosnia and Herzegovina in a crucial Nations League Group B4 encounter on Saturday.

The Swedes lead the group with 10 points from four matches, while Bosnia are second with eight points, making Saturday’s meeting an important contest in the battle for top spot.

A victory for Graham Potter’s side would guarantee first place and promotion with a game to spare.

The reverse fixture in October ended 1-1, but Sweden will feel they deserved more after dominating much of the encounter.

The visitors struggled to create clear-cut chances, managing only two shots on target, while Sweden produced twice as many attempts and shots on target.

With home advantage, the hosts will be confident of getting the job done, particularly after their recent attacking performances.

Sweden have scored 10 goals in their last four matches and have found the net more than once in each of their last four home fixtures.

Their 3-1 victory over Poland in their previous home match will also provide encouragement ahead of the encounter.

Bosnia, however, cannot be written off, having remained unbeaten in their first four group matches before the meeting with Sweden.

The visitors will need to improve their attacking threat if they are to frustrate the hosts, who have shown greater quality in the final third.

Sweden’s defensive record remains a concern, with the team keeping only one clean sheet in their last 19 matches.

This could give Bosnia an opportunity to find the net despite their expected difficulties.

Viktor Gyokeres will be one of the players to watch for the hosts.

Despite struggling for regular playing time at Arsenal this season, the striker remains an important figure in Sweden’s attack.

Gyokeres scored in all four of Sweden’s matches during the previous round of Nations League fixtures and will be hoping to continue his impressive scoring run.

With promotion within reach and home advantage in their favour, Sweden are expected to dominate the contest. A 3-1 victory for the hosts is a possible outcome, while Gyokeres is also a strong candidate to score.
