Spain (4-1-1) really needs a victory, as it sits two points behind the Swedes. The Spaniards get a crack at Sweden on Sunday and want to go in with a chance to take over the group. They have been dominating possession but have struggled to turn that into goals. Alvaro Morata, who has one goal in his two appearances this season, should lead the line, and Pablo Sarabia and Dani Olmo also are creative in attack. Pau Torres and Aymeric Laporte will hold down the back line in front of goalkeeper Unai Simon. Â
Greece  (2-3-1) plays hard-nosed on the back end and tries to keep the game close. It worked out well when it faced Spain back in March, as the Greeks scored on their only shot and pulled off a 1-1 draw. They also handed Sweden its only group loss in September, when Anastasios Bakasetas and Vangelis Pavlidis scored second-half goals. Bakasetas is out on a booking suspension, so Petros Mantalos is likely to take his spot, and he has nine goals and 26 assists in his past three seasons in the Greek Super League.
