Sweden set to miss out on the World Cup, it's almost official 😱 | OneFootball

Thunderbolt!

Just one point. With two matchdays remaining in the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyökeres' Sweden has only one point and is at the bottom of its group!

Defeated 1-0 at home on Monday night against Kosovo, the Swedes are six points behind their opponents of the night, who are in second place.

To have any hope of at least reaching the playoffs, Sweden must win in Switzerland and against Slovenia in November... while also hoping that Kosovo loses both of its matches against the same opponents.

A relatively unlikely scenario that makes Sweden's non-participation in the World Cup almost official.

Led by Alexander Isak, Viktor Gyökeres, Lucas Bergvall, Anthony Elanga, Victor Lindelöf: Sweden was, along with Switzerland, the big favorite of this Group B.

Quite a shock for a team that fields a duo worth 220 million euros up front...

Group B Standings:

1) Switzerland - 10 points

2) Kosovo - 7 points

3) Slovenia - 3 points

4) Sweden - 1 point
