The two teams played out an evenly matched stalemate at the Estadio La Cartuja de Sevilla back in June, but with Sweden in line to leapfrog Spain and go top of World Cup qualifying Group B with a win tonight, a draw seems unlikely.
Both teams look in good form and are unbeaten in the group, which also contains Greece, Georgia and Kosovo. Spain sits top with seven points, having played a game more than Sweden who are on six points after winning both of their matches.
The home side will be without key centre-back Marcus Danielson, who is suspended after his red card in the Euro 2020 defeat to Ukraine.
Luis Enrique's Spanish side will meanwhile be expected to dominate possession, but questions remain over whether they can offer up a cutting edge while also dictating the tempo.
Follow our guide below for all the ways to watch Sweden vs Spain online and get a World Cup 2022 qualifier wherever you are right now.
