Sweden face Belgium at Leigh Sports Village on Friday; kick-off 8pm; Sweden are the highest ranked side at Euro 2022, but their preparations have been interrupted due to Covid absences; Belgium came second in Group D after beating Italy in their final group game.

Belgium coach Ives Serneels has suggested Sweden counterpart Peter Gerhardsson could be nervous ahead of their sides' Euro 2022 quarter-final on Friday.

Gerhardsson has reportedly been reluctant to speak too much about his side ahead of the clash at Leigh Sports Village to prevent Belgium gaining an advantage.

Serneels claims this would not matter as he has already carried out his own research into his team's last-eight opponents.

"For me not the point," Serneels told reporters at a press conference. "It is his idea to say what he wants, but I know what we are going to do tomorrow and that is the most important.
