How is the two teams form?

Given this is a friendly match, the two teams form will not have a major impact as the managers probably will try some new faces.

However, Sweden is number two in the World Cup qualification group C with seven points for three matches. In the latest match against Germany they made an incredible comeback after being behiinf 0-4 at half time - the result was 4-4 after 90 minutes.
 
England is currently positioned as one in group H with eight points for four matches.

What will the starting XI look like?

Sweden manager Erik Hamrén has selected a squad with a mix of Swedish stars, and future to be. Among them is the defender Pontus Jansson from Malmö FF and the winger Tobias Sana from Ajax Amsterdam.
Arsenal defender Carl Jenkinson can have his first cap as England international against Sweden. The same matters for Wilfried Zaha and Raheem Sterling.

Both managers will probably experiment in this match, why the starting lines can be:

Isaksson

Lustig - Olsson - Granqvist - Olsson

Holmén - Wernbloom - Larsson - Sana

Ibrahimovic - Berg

Welbeck - Zaha

What to expect from this match?

As this is only a friendly and nothing is at risk, we might not see the most action filled match. However, there will be a battle between the strong England defense and the Swedish star striker Ibrahimovic.

We can expect a match with a lot of changes. Both managers are going to try out different players and different play styles, why this could be a rather boring affair. On the other hand, both teams has the ability to score some fantastic goals.

What are the odds?

According to oddschecker.com, Sweden (70.59% of the bettingsites) are the favourites for this match. However, for me a draw is more likely.
