Sweden hosting Spain is one of the top matches in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers lined up as they meet in Group B. Spain are top in the group with seven points while Sweden are second on six so this is a key battle in the pool. Hosts Sweden have packed up three wins in their last five matches ahead of this game but their last game ended in a loss to Ukraine at Euro 2020. The only time they failed to score in the last five matches was against Spain, having played to a 0-0 draw at Euro 2020. Three of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals and at home, they have five straight wins, with four clean sheets. They have conceded one goal and scored 16 in the last five matches at home but are winless in five matches against Spain. In five meetings with Spain, the last two have ended in draws, with Spain winning the earlier three.

Spain carry to this game two straight draws but a good scoring run that has seen them net in each of their last five matches ahead of this. While they have just one clean sheet in the last five away matches, Spain have scored two or more goals in three, and three have produced over 2.5 goals. The former world champions have a great run in the World Cup qualifiers, unbeaten in their last 66, with the last defeat dating back to 1993 in the qualifiers for the 1994 event. They lost to Denmark back then, going down 1-0.
