England are favored to advance to their first FIFA World Cup semifinal since 1990, as reported by BBC, but Sweden is likely to prove a stubborn opponent. This upset-laden 2018 World Cup has already seen the three tournament favorites — Spain, Germany and Brazil — make unceremonious exits, and experts say that England may be in for a shock in their quarterfinal match that will live stream from Samara, Russia.

“Playing against Sweden is generally not a pretty affair. They are difficult to play against. They’re efficient, know what they’re doing and have a good system of play,” said former Manchester United star and now Sky Sports commentator Gary Neville. “It’s going to be a really difficult game.”

Sky Sports expert Charlie Nicholas believes that England, after breaking their streak of losing five straight major tournament penalty shootouts, per USA Today, will lose against Sweden on penalties after a 1-1 draw in regulation and extra time.
