Position in the UEFA Nations League table: Slovenia vs Sweden
Since it is the first round of the UEFA Nations League, both teams are yet to grab their first points this season.

The visitor team Sweden might as well do their best to start recording points right in their first game of the season. One way or the other, it will be interesting to watch these two sides fight it out in Group B4.
