Sweden
Sweden return to the World Cup for the first time since 2018, with Jon Dahl Tomasson — the former Denmark international — delivering a new attacking identity. The attacking combination of Viktor Gyökeres (Sporting CP's record-breaking striker) and Alexander Isak (Newcastle's elite forward) gives Sweden one of international football's most dangerous front lines.
