Mon Oct 14 21:01:13 UTC 2024: ## Sweden Aim for Unbeaten Run in Tallinn, Estonia Seeks Revenge

**Tallinn, Estonia:** Sweden will be looking to maintain their unbeaten start to the UEFA Nations League when they travel to Tallinn to face Estonia on Monday. Meanwhile, the hosts are eager for a second consecutive win after their impressive 3-0 victory over Azerbaijan last Friday.

Estonia, promoted from League D after a dominant 2022-23 campaign, is determined to make their mark in League C. Their recent victory over Azerbaijan followed a tough opening two matches against Slovakia and Sweden, where they conceded a combined four goals.

Sweden, competing in League C for the first time following back-to-back relegations, has impressed in their quest for promotion back to League B, winning two and drawing one of their first three matches. However, their recent 2-2 draw against Slovakia serves as a reminder that no match will be easy.

Despite the recent history favoring Sweden, Estonia will be looking to capitalize on home advantage to break a five-game losing streak against their Scandinavian rivals.

The match is set to be a tense affair, with both teams looking to gain momentum and climb the group standings.

**Key Injuries and Absences:**

Estonia will be without defender Maksim Paskotsi, who was forced off in the first half against Azerbaijan. Rasmus Peetson is in line for his first Nations League start as his replacement. Martin Vetkal could also start as Rocco Robert Shein is suspended due to yellow card accumulation.

Sweden will be without Robin Olsen, Carl Starfelt, Eric Smith, Gustaf Nilsson, Jens Cajuste, Mattias Svanberg, and Alexander Isak due to injury or withdrawal from the squad. Victor Lindelof and Hugo Larsson, who came off the bench against Slovakia, could start for Sweden.

**Prediction:**

While Sweden has a strong record against Estonia and has shown good form, the match is likely to be close. Despite the home advantage and desire for revenge, Estonia’s recent defensive struggles may be their undoing. Sweden’s offensive power and ability to adapt to different game situations make them favorites for this match.
