Manchester City's Belgium captain Kevin de Bruyne expects a battle in tonight's Euro qualifier with Sweden.
De Bruyne was named Belgium captain last week.
"I think that Sweden is our toughest opponent in the group and then comes Austria, which is not far away. But to play away to Sweden in the first match, and that when we have a fairly new team, well that will probably be the toughest challenge," said De Bruyne, knowing AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic will feature for Sweden.
"Zlatan is top class. If you still maintain that level at that age, it's a good example for many.
"Sweden will be compact. They learn to play 4-4-2 and have (Alexander) Isak , (Dejan) Kulusevski and (Emil) Forsberg. I expect a tough match."
