Sven is confident his team can bounce back from the disappointment of conceding two late goals against Austria in their opening World Cup qualifier to win in Katowice on Wednesday night.

He said: "I can't see why we will go there and lose. I hope we play like we did in the first half against Austria for the whole game.

"To be top of the group we have to win the game. If we do that it won't be bad for us to have four points after two games.

"There were a lot of positives to take from the Austria game. Things happen in football, but I am feeling really positive.

"We have not won games we should have lately and it has happened too many times. I hope and I think we can learn from it."

The Swede insists he will not have to change his tactics even though he is determined to get the three points.

He added: "All we can do is have another big performance. I will not have to change anything because there were a lot of good things in the game.

"I will not have to change the approach. All we have to do is stop conceding stupid goals."
