Tom Mohan's side began the campaign with two impressive victories - 1-0 over hosts Finland and 6-0 against Malta on Saturday - but they can boost their chances of a top seeding in the Elite Qualifying Round with at least a draw against the Swedes.
"We've done so well until now and you want to finish it off on a high with a good performance against Sweden," said Mohan.
"We have to look at the preparation for the Elite Phase straight away and it'll be an opportunity for all the players to show that they can perform."
