Sweden v Slovakia live stream, BBC, Friday 18 June, 2pm BST
Sweden and Slovakia will both be looking to build on positive starts to Euro 2020 when they meet in Saint-Petersburg.
World Cup quarter-finalists in 2018, Sweden will be eyeing a place in the knockout stage this summer too. A 0-0 draw with Spain in their opening encounter on Monday was better than many Swedes hoped for, giving Janne Andersson’s side something to build on going forward.
Sweden certainly rode their luck at times against Spain, especially in the first half. It was a case of one-way traffic in those opening 45 minutes, as the de facto home team pinned back the visitors to Seville. However, Sweden were a great deal more comfortable after the break, and they might even have been a little disappointed not to have found the net themselves. All in all a scoreless stalemate represents an excellent start to the competition.
Sweden will certainly have to show more ambition here, though, and that could play into Slovakia’s hands. Pavel Hapal’s side were terrific in a 2-1 triumph over Poland on Monday, and will employ similar tactics here.
Slovakia were happy to cede possession but counter-attacked with intent, with the use of Ondrej Duda and Marek Hamsik as twin false nines proving to be a masterstroke. Slovakia certainly benefited from the sending-off of Grzegorz Krychowiak, but it was hard to deny they deserved the victory.
This is likely to be a low-scoring affair. Neither team will want to take undue risks, and two 4-4-2 formations could cancel one another out. On the flip side, victory for either side would in effect seal their place in the knockout phase regardless of what happens in the third and final group game.
That is an attractive incentive for Sweden and Slovakia, who will each hope to emerge from this encounter with their confidence intact.
Kick-off is at 2pm BST and the game is being shown on BBC One/BBC iPlayer. See below for watching details where you are.
Use a VPN to watch a Sweden v Slovakia live stream from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for any Euro 2020 fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you still want to catch Harry Kane's in-swinging corners without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there, including:
