England entered their place in the last eight by edging past Colombia in a penalty shootout on Tuesday to raise hopes of a first World Cup title since 1966.
"It would be easier for England to beat Brazil than to beat Sweden in my opinion, Sweden today is a very hard team to break down," Swede Eriksson, who led England to the 2002 and 2006 World Cup quarter-finals, told Paddy Power News.
"England have a great chance to make a semi-final World Cup.But, if anyone in the squad thinks they have an easy game on Saturday, they're wrong.
"It'll be the most difficult game they'll have played so far, they can bet on that."
Sweden reached the World Cup last eight for the first time since finishing third in 1994 after a scrappy 1-0 victory over Switzerland on Tuesday.
"Sweden is so difficult to break down, they are very strong and really tough, if they woke up in the middle of the night, they would know every position in defending – any chance in the game, they know what to do.
"Their strikers are defenders when it's time to defend and they can defend themselves in their own right.
"During my time with England we put them on times, We have lost a lot of time, and the others have had a draw, Sweden has beaten England in big games My brain says England, but my heart says Sweden . "
England had never won a penalty shootout at the World Cup before Tuesday and Eriksson believes it will be a big boost in the last stages of the tournament.
"Everyone gets worried when a game goes to penalties, England, England, England, England, England." he said.
