The game will also be broadcast online at ITV Hub and on BBC Radio 5 Live and talkSPORT 2.

This will be their 15th meeting with Belgium having the edge to date with 7 wins over 5. The Belgians are unbeaten in their last 3 encounters.

Sweden have now lost 5 of their last 7 matches at the Euros and have only kept 1 clean sheet in that run. They have yet to register a shot on target at this years tournament.

Belgium have not drawn in their last 9 games at the Euros but have only won 3 of them. Romelu Lukaku has scored 6 goals in his last 6 games for them.

Permutations:

Sweden need a win to qualify in second - or as a best third side if the Republic of Ireland secure a bigger win against Italy; anything else will eliminate them.

Belgium need a draw to guarantee qualification in second place; a defeat would still put them through as a best third side unless Ireland beat Italy, which would knock them out.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has announced he is to retire from international football at the end of this tournament. If Sweden lose tonight's match, this will be the last game Ibrahimovic ever plays for Sweden.

You would think that they surely cannot go through a whole group phase without doing so!

A Sweden win here (as well as an Italy win in the other game) would send Belgium into the "difficult" half of the draw, and a date with France in the last 16 would be result.

I quite want it to happen to see the chaos unfold.

Great save by Courtois, but that chance should have been buried.

Goalless at the break but it's been a decent enough half. Sweden have to really step it up at some point you would think.

Still a very open game. Just needs for someone to show some composure in front of goal.
