Lindelof gets away with one! The ball in from Hamsik was a decent one, but the Swedish centre back should have made the straightforward clearance. Instead, he allows it under his foot!
6'
Dubravka makes the save! Larsson found himself in a good pocket of space 20 yards out, he got the left-footed shot away, it picked up a slight deflection, but the keeper makes the stop.

The Sweden team today!

Olsson goes through the back of Skriniar, who has been in the thick of the action early on, and Slovakia have the freekick. Sweden looking to get close to their opponents.

Good start to the match by Slovakia. They are the ones on the front foot in the early stages of the contest with Skriniar carrying the ball through the centre of the pitch.

Looks like a pleasant afternoon in Saint-Petersburg. Glorious sunshine. Could get rather warm!

This writer says Sweden's national anthem wins the anthem battle before kick off. Sorry, Slovakia.
13:56
Not bad at all!
13:55
The two teams are out on to the pitch at the Gazprom Arena in Saint-Petersburg. Anthem time coming up! This has the potential to be a compelling and entertaining game.
13:50
Slovakia are the lowest-ranked team in Group E, but they sit top of the standings after their win over Poland. Spain were expected to be the big hitters, but they were less than impressive against Sweden.

I'm Graham Ruthven and you can catch me on Twitter ahead of the match to let me know your thoughts. Who do you fancy for this one? Will we see more from Sweden in an attacking sense? Tweet me - @grahamruthven!
13:35
Slovakia pulled off arguably the biggest surprise of the tournament so far by beating Poland 2-1 in their opening Euro 2020 fixture. Can they back that up with another win here?
13:30
Slovakia have momentum behind them!
13:25
No Swedish changes! Andersson has stuck with the same team that claimed a point in a 0-0 draw against Spain in Sweden's first Euro 2020 Group E fixture. More of the same?
