Sweden and Bosnia and Herzegovina have confirmed their starting lineups for Saturday’s Liga de Naciones meeting, with Graham Potter naming his XI for the match at 16:45 Chile time. The fixture is set for November 14 and brings the two teams into the fifth round with everything already in place before kickoff.
For readers checking the Sweden–Bosnia and Herzegovina matchup now, the timing matters because both sides arrive with the same recent rhythm: one win and one draw in their last two games. Sweden beat Rumania 1-0 before this match, while Bosnia and Herzegovina came in after a 1-0 win over Polonia, so the table pressure is matched by similar form on both benches.
Potter’s lineup sends Viktor Johansson in goal, with Daniel Svensson, Gabriel Gudmundsson, Hugo Larsson, Gustaf Lagerbielke, Victor Lindelöf, Anthony Elanga, Yasin Ayari, Alexander Isak, Viktor Gyökeres and Sebastian Nanasi as the 11 starters. Sweden’s bench is made up of Felix Beijmo, Alexander Bernhardsson, Hjalmar Ekdal, Jesper Karlström, Genesis Antwi, Dejan Kulusevski, Alieu Njie, Benjamin Nygren, Eric Smith, Elliot Stroud, Noel Törnqvist and Jacob Widell Zetterström.
Bosnia and Herzegovina, led by Sergej Barbarez, answered with Martin Zlomislić, Amar Dedić, Ivan Bašić, Sead Kolašinac, Nikola Katić, Stjepan Radeljić, Armin Gigović, Ermedin Demirović, Esmir Bajraktarević, Haris Tabaković and Kerim Alajbegović in their starting side. Their substitutes are Samed Baždar, Dženis Burnić, Matej Deket, Salko Hamzić, Mladen Jurkas, Ermin Mahmić, Arjan Malić, Amar Memić, Nihad Mujakić, Zinedin Smajlović, Benjamin Tahirović and Ivan Šunjić.
The cleanest read on this match is simple: the hard part is no longer guessing the teams, but seeing which side turns a matching run of results into a decisive fifth-round win. At 16:45 on Saturday, the lineups stop being a talking point and become the first test.
