The 35-year-old will look to bow out on International football with a successful tournament on home soil, leading his national side to the latter stages. He has 46 goals in 108 appearances for Ukraine.

As for Sweden, despite not making it to the 2010 World Cup, they are usually involved in major tournaments and may not get the credit they deserve.

The Swedes look to be in good shape for their first encounter, winning four games on the bounce including a victory away from home against Croatia.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has found the net three times in as many matches for Sweden. He has certainly taken the form from his club side into the international matches and is a striker to be feared by opponents. The 30-year-old may feel this is his last chance to impress on at the highest level.

Erik Hamren will want his side to attack at every opportunity, however his priority will be to remain solid at the back and hard to beat.

This encounter gets underway from 7.45pm on Monday evening.
