Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Sweden coach Erik Hamren:

"I expect a tough match tomorrow. In my opinion they are number one in the group and they are ranked number one in our group and also the only team who were playing in the World Cup this summer so, of course, they are in my opinion the favourites in our group. I think they are a good team, strong team, difficult to beat, don't lose so many matches, good organised in defence and have some who can score so I expect a really tough game tomorrow but we want to win and we will do everything we can to win."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Sweden defender Andreas Granqvist (who plays in Russia for Krasnodar):

"The Russian football is getting better and better, the league is developing and they have some good teams. In defence they have a lot of experience, in the attack now they have some younger players who are coming up so I know them quite well - (I) play against them every week. So, it's going to be a tough opponent, tough game but, as I said before, we play at home and , yes, we will see what happens but, hopefully, we will win."
