Portugal will be looking to get their 2020-21 UEFA Nations League campaign off to a positive start when they take on Sweden.
Sweden picked up seven points from their four Group B2 games in the 2018-19 UEFA Nations League to finish top of the section, meaning that they were promoted to League A for the 2020-21 competition. The Blue and Yellows have a tough task on their hands to finish top of this particular group, though, as they will also take on Portugal and Croatia in Group 3 of League A. Janne Andersson's side will be present in next summer's European Championships, having enjoyed an impressive qualification campaign, finishing second behind Spain in Group F on 21 points. Sweden's main focus will be on preparing for the tournament next year, although they will enter this match in good form, winning six of their last eight games in all competitions, remaining unbeaten in the process.
Portugal triumphed in the inaugural season of the UEFA Nations League, beating Switzerland in the semi-finals of the competition before recording a 1-0 victory over the Netherlands in the final last June. It would be fair to say that the nation's main focus is on preparing for next summer's European Championships, but they will still be keen to make another impression in this competition. Fernando Santos's side have won seven of their last eight matches in all competitions, including a 2-0 success away to Luxembourg in their last game in November 2019. Portugal qualified for the European Championships courtesy of a second-place finish in Group B, and they are the defending champions, having overcome holders France in 2016 final.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
