Portugal come from a quiet night on the scoreboard against France in a very entertaining game between the current FIFA World Cup champions and the most recent champion of the UEFA Euro. They're leading Group C of the Nations League, trying to defend the title they won last year.
On the other hand, Sweden is trying to record their first points in the competition after having lost their first three games in the tournament. More recently, they succumbed against Croatia, losing 2-1 in Zagreb last Sunday.
