We said: Sweden 3-0 New Zealand

Sweden will be confident of recording a win to kick off their June international against a New Zealand side who are going through a transitional period under caretaker management. Gyokeres and Isak should be able to get onto the scoresheet at the Friends Arena and give Anderson's men momentum going into their Euro qualifier with Austria next week. Read more.
