Sweden secured an impressive away victory in Azerbaijan on Thursday night, while Estonia suffered a one-goal defeat at home to Euro 2022 surprise package Slovakia.

After losing three out of four friendly matches at the start of his reign in the managerial hotseat, Jon Dahl Tomasson posted a maiden competitive victory as Sweden manager at the first attempt on Thursday, securing a 3-0 win over Azerbaijan in Baku to begin the 2024-25 Nations League campaign.

Following their relegation from League B during the last edition, Sweden possesses some of the hottest attacking talent in League C this time around, with Alexander Isak bagging a brace and Viktor Gyokeres scoring to seal a win over Azerbaijan.

Sweden will be looking to avoid a repeat of their most recent home game on June 8, when they welcomed Euro 2024-bound Serbia to Friends Arena, with the visitors securing a three-goal victory through strikes from Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Aleksandar Mitrovic and Dusan Tadic.

With Slovakia and Sweden in the four-team section, Estonia face an uphill task as they aim to secure a top-two finish in this season’s Nations League, with Sunday’s visitors suffering an opening-round defeat to Francesco Calzona’s side in Tallinn on Thursday.

Creating just 0.16 expected goals and enjoying only 39% possession, it was a difficult night for Estonia last time out, with a second-half goal from Slovakian winger Romas Suslov securing maximum points for one of England’s Euro 2024 victims.

After narrowly missing out on a result earlier in the week, Estonia are back on the road in a competitive match for the first time since a sobering night in Warsaw during March, when Thomas Haberli’s side suffering a 5-1 defeat to Poland in their Euro 2024 playoff semi-final.

Following a trophy-laden six-year spell in charge of Estonian powerhouses Flora Tallinn, Jurgen Henn is now in control of the national team, with the 39-year-old tasked with keeping his country afloat in a tricky-looking League C section.

After being replaced at halftime in Azerbaijan on Thursday, Sweden winger Anthony Elanga could be dropped from the starting XI to make way for Ken Sema.

With Robin Olsen out of action due to injury, Stoke City shot-stopper Johansson has surely done enough to keep his place in goal ahead of Jacob Widell Zetterstrom.
