Both sides are in need of three points, and the Libertad keeper Bobadilla is under no illusions about the importance of Paraguay's second group game.
"As well as us, they [Sweden] must win to qualify for the next round," he said. "We'll look for the three points from the first minute, without doubt."
Bobadilla, who made his World Cup debut after replacing Justo Villar seven minutes in against England, said, "I'm happy for having played but not so happy because a team-mate picked up a serious injury. Goalkeeper is a very delicate position on the pitch. In this case, Justo got injured in a very big moment and I'm sorry for that."
His Swedish counterpart Andreas Isaksson is set to return to their team tomorrow. The Rennes keeper missed the draw against Trinidad & Tobago with concussion after he was hit in the face by a shot by Kim Kallstrom in training.
Rami Shaaban deputised last Saturday, but Isaksson is ready to make his bow in the 2006 tournament.
"I am feeling good again," the 24-year-old said. "The headaches and tiredness I felt have now gone."
Of Kallstrom's shot in training, Isaksson added: "I do not remember anything from five minutes before the incident to 10 minutes after.
"I was not worried, but it was uncomfortable not being able to remember."
