The tactical read
Sweden typically set up in 3-1-4-2 and make their first change around minute 56 - roughly 5 substitutions per game. Expect the first-sub window around then, earlier if they're chasing the game.
Over the last 4 matches, the same shape held up in 2 of them. The quickest hook came at 37' away at Japan; the longest wait stretched to 66' away at France.
Results have gone against them lately (1-1-2 from the last 4) - under pressure, managers often get more reactive with team news and substitutions than their season-long averages suggest.
