For the Swedish side, coach Lars Lagerback will likely not play Zlatan Ibrahimovic (swollen knee), nor Tobias Linderoth for the duration of the entire fixture. Euro 2008 Odds: Greece v Sweden Group D

"It is going to be a very physical match with the Greeks and I don't know whether Ibra and Linderoth will be able to play for 90 minutes at this level," said coach Lagerback.

Another issue for the Sweden coaching staff, is Henrik Larsson. Larsson is expected to be alongside Ibrahimovic (in the front) at the start of this fixture. However, the fact that Larsson hasn’t played international football since the 2006 World Cup might yield additional adjustments.

Thus, another alternative for Lagerback would be to pair up Ibrahimovic with Johan Elmander in their front attack. In Euro 2008 Odds: Greece v Sweden Group D, the Odds of a Draw are +200.

In the head-to-head history between these two sides, Greece holds the edge with a 2-1-3 advantage over Sweden. Greece is unbeaten in their last five meetings with Sweden, as Swede's only triumph dates all the way back to the 1920 Olympic games.
