Sweden joint-coach Lars Lagerback reckons Nigeria will be more difficult to tackle than England because of their
unpredictability.
The Swedes face Nigeria in Kobe on Friday after opening their campaign with a 1-1 draw against Sven-Goran Eriksson's men.
And Lagerback is banking on the fitness of his players, which told during their second-half fightback against England in Saitama, will shine through again against the Super Eagles.
"It is a little more difficult with Nigeria as they are more unpredictable," said Lagerback.
"They have a lot of individual skills and sometimes when you see them they can play very well together and sometimes they seem not so interested."
It is a must-win game for Festus Onigbinde's men after their 1-0 defeat against tournament favourites Argentina and Lagerback is clearly wondering which Nigeria will turn up.
"You never know what they will do," said Lagerback. "You know they can defend very well but how will they attack? It is much easier for us to have a game against England than against Nigeria."
