Preview
Sweden returned to winning ways with a 3-0 home win over Kosovo in their previous qualification match on Saturday.
Forsberg, Isak and Quaison found the back of the net to send Sweden to 2nd in the table with 12 points, a sole point behind Spain.
On the other hand, Greece picked up a 2-0 away win over Georgia to keep their qualification hopes alive.
Bakasetas and Pelkas scored in the 90th and 95th minute respectively to ensure successive wins.
This is an important fixture as it is between 2nd and 3rd place teams with a difference of 3 points.
A win for either side keeps the pressure on table toppers, Spain and we could end up with an intensified race for qualification in Group B.
Both sides met last month where Greece shocked Sweden with a 2-1 home win.

Prediction: Sweden 2-1 Greece
This should be a tight affair in Sweden as both sides know the importance of the clash.
Sweden are favourites ahead of this clash since it is in home comforts and they have a capable line-up.
But Greece is not to be underestimated and can punch above their weight as seen last month.
Yet, we see Sweden picking up the win to intensify their place in the qualification scenario.
