Euro 2016: Italy vs Sweden - 5 players to watch out for

Italy will look to seal their Round of 16 berth

4) Andreas Isaksson

Isaksson could be the busier of the two goalkeepers

The Sweden goalkeeper also makes the list owing to the fact that he’ll be busy throughout the match and a number of saves will what it takes to overcome Italy. The former Manchester City goalkeeper has made 130 caps for the Swedish outfit and has always been consistent between them.

In Sweden’s last match, Isaksson made three decent saves which kept Ireland at bay. He possesses a calm demeanour which gives the Swede defence added stability at the back.

Isaksson will have his hands full in the upcoming match against Italy. With most of the possession likely to be with the Italians, he will need to make some crucial stops for his team. Italy are especially strong on the counter and the Swede should expect a couple of one-on-one encounters with the Italian attackers for which he must be on his toes at all times.
