The U21s are ready for Tuesday's clash with Belarus. The Swedes have a good squad and are capable of advancing to the semi-finals. The final squad features a host of Allsvenskan players as well as some players of foreign teams.
The game with Belarus on paper should be a win but nothing can be taken for granted at these finals. Belarus themselves may be up for a few shocks. One player Sweden will be keeping an eye on is BATE Borisov's Sergei Kryvets. Kryvets was part of the BATE Borisov side that competed in the Champions League last Autumn and he scored against Juventus as BATE got an unlikely 2-2 draw.
Italy are next up after Belarus. A star-studded side with players such as Robert Acquafresca, Mario Balotelli and Sebastien Giovinco. The Swedes will have a big job to do on Friday. Mario Balotelli is the stand-out dangerman for the Italians. The Inter Milan star knows where the goal is and will be a treat for the defence.
Sweden end the Group stage with a match against Serbia on June 23rd in Malmö. Serbia were finalists 2 years ago in Holland and will prove a good test for this Swedish side. Zoran Tošić will lead the midfield and will be one to watch. The Man United man hasn't played much this season but has quality. Gojko Kačar of Hertha Berlin is a mean defender and helped Hertha Berlin to a Europa league place last season.
