Jon Dahl Tomasson says he expects a response from Sweden against Northern Ireland after Saturday's surprise defeat in Luxembourg.
Seid Korac hit a first-half winner as Sweden were shocked by the side who will be in Northern Ireland's World Cup qualifying group in September.
Led by Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak and Nottingham Forest's Anthony Elanga, Sweden will be a stern test for Northern Ireland, who drew 1-1 with Switzerland on Friday, despite their result in Luxembourg.
"It was a very disappointing performance," said Tomasson, who became Sweden manager in February 2024 after leaving Blackburn Rovers.
"I couldn't recognise my team in Luxembourg.
"Now we are playing Northern Ireland, who are a really good team. They won their Nations League group, like we did, and they are on a good run."
Tomasson says that Michael O'Neill's Northern Ireland "are a solid team" and he expects a good game in Stockholm, which will be live on BBC iPlayer and BBC Two NI. from 17:45 GMT.
"I have to admit I like it when I see the team play," the former Newcastle United and Denmark striker added.
"They are a difficult team to play against. Every game is important, so we will look forward to it."
