Sweden has 5 straight wins. Only Germany (2x7) and Romania (1x6) has ever performed better.
Sweden is arguably one of the absolutely best away teams in the world (even though a question can be raised about the competition, the stats are damned impressive).
So, naturally we'll lose against Bulgaria.

I hope your prediction is correct Bulgaria has not won against Sweden since 1967 (The only other countries that Bulgaria has not beaten in such a long time, with more than 3 games played, are Brazil, England, and curiously, Scotland). The atmosphere in Bulgaria is one of frustrated frenzy, hoping for that unlucky streak to finally end. The enthusiasm is not diminished by the missing key players - Valeri Bojinov and Marian Hristov injured, Stilian Petrov and Martin Petrov - suspended. The venue was sold out on the second day after ticket sales started, because not all tickets were available for sale on day 1 ;)

Only the win over Poland is significant (we won there too ... it was either 2003 or 4). The others are real minnows.

I wouldn't stand on this unless you can show other teams playing such weak opposition 4 or 5 matches in a row (last time Germany did that they embarrassed themselves).

Maybe 0-0
BTW did you watch the curling? I didn't expect that result and I don't think the girls on either side did either...
