Scotland won 2-0 against Romania at Falkirk on Friday, which included Jane Ross’s 50th goal for her country, a feat only previously managed by Julie Fleeting.
Sweden were also in action over the last few days and were close to toppling the USA but lost out by the only goal of the game.
The match at Myresjöhus Arena in Vjaxo will kick-off at 5pm (UK time) and is expected to be played in front of more than 3,000 supporters.
Team news
Defender Jenny Beattie picked up an ankle injury before the Romania match and is expected to be out for 4-5 weeks, with Sophie Howard taking her place.
23-year-old Howard plays for TSG 1899 Hoffenheim and the German-born defender is eligible for Scotland through her Scottish grandfather.
She made her Scotland debut against Belgium in April.
Rachel Corsie is fit and ready to play after not being involved in Friday’s win.

Previous meetings
Anna Signeul has faced her home country five times during her reign as Scotland head coach, in three friendlies and two World Cup Qualifiers.
The team have been unable to grind out a victory against them, as yet and the last time they played each other, Sweden ran out 6-0 winners in January 2016.
Their last visit to Scotland was a closer run thing though when Scotland lost out 3-1 at Fir Park in 2014.
Anna Signeul’s thoughts
“There were a lot of positives to come out of Friday’s 2-0 win over Romania. They are similarly ranked to our Euro 2017 opponents Portugal but we controlled the game really well and they never had any clear cut opportunities.
“I think we can do better though, especially in our build up play.
“It was great to have a lot of players back fit as we had a few out with niggling injuries against Belgium.
“It was disappointing for Jen Beattie to pick up an injury though. We haven’t been lucky with injuries but these things will make us stronger.
“Sweden will be a really tough challenge. They looked very good against USA in their recent game against them. They were strong in attack and astute in defence.
“We’ll have to be defensively strong and keep up with their fast play. If we can do that from the outset we’ll give ourselves a strong base to go and play ourselves.”
