Average performance against Tunisia

Karlstrom created one scoring chance and registered one tackle (zero won), two clearances and one interception in Sunday's 5-1 victory versus Tunisia.

Analysis: Karlstrom didn't need to do too much to control the pace and the ball in the midfield in a match thoroughly dominated by Sweden, and had a small output in several stats, primarily defensive ones, as he routinely does for Udinese. He was replaced by Mattias Svanberg, who hit the net, with six minutes to go. He scored once and recorded 54 tackles in 36 Serie A fixtures in 2025/2026.

Works hard against Napoli

Karlstrom won one of two tackles and had one shot (one on goal), two interceptions and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 1-0 loss versus Napoli.

Analysis: Karlstrom was the usual big presence in the back and attacked a little in this one. He tallied at least one clearance in his last 11 displays, racking up 28. He was a stalwart for the second consecutive season, scoring once and registering 54 tackles, 36 interceptions and 76 clearances in 36 matches.
