Sweden Coach Erik Hamren fears Italy’s experience at Euro 2016 and Belgium’s quality in Group E.
The Scandinavians have been placed in the Group of Death with Italy, FIFA world ranked number one side Belgium and the Republic of Ireland.
"I would have liked Austria in order to get revenge,” Hamren said after a 4-1 defeat in qualifying.
“Belgium are a team with big expectations. Italy have not been as strong in qualifying this time but are traditionally good in final tournaments.
