San Marino stand in Sweden's way
Sweden will look to keep the pressure on runaway group leaders the Netherlands as they visit San Marino, with UEFA EURO 2008 Group E's big two to meet in October.
• Zlatan Ibrahimović enjoyed Sweden's meeting with San Marino on 7 September, marking his first match in his hometown of Malmo in nine years with two goals in a 6-0 win. Ibrahimović struck first before own goals from twins Davide and Aldo Simoncini made it 3-0. Even Olof Mellberg's 34th-minute dismissal failed to stem the tide, with substitutes Andreas Granqvist and Marcus Berg on target after half-time either side of star attraction Ibrahimović.
• Sweden's record in three matches against San Marino reads W3 D0 L0 (W1 D0 L0 in Serravalle).
• The teams met twice in the space of three months during qualifying for UEFA EURO 2004, with Sweden running out 6-0 winners in the first encounter in Serravalle on 7 June 2003. Mattias Jonson helped himself to a hat-trick, while Marcus Allbäck scored twice and Fredrik Ljungberg also hit the target.
• Jonson struck again in the return fixture in Gothenburg on 6 September, opening the scoring in the first half before Zlatan Ibrahimović (2), Andreas Jakobsson and Kim Källström earned Sweden a 5-0 triumph.
