"England will struggle to score against Sweden," Eriksson, who managed England from 2001-06, was quoted as saying by espnfc.
"I believe it will be a Swedish win. And as a Swede my hopes are with Sweden."
England got past Colombia 4-3 on penalties on Monday to reach the last eight.
Sweden, meanwhile, booked their place following a 1-0 win over Denmark.
Eriksson went to say that he believes his country could reach the final for the first time since 1958.
"Given how they are playing now I believe they (Sweden) can go all the way," he said.
"I have yet to decide (whether to attend the game), but I might go. It will be a fantastic World Cup quarter final, a tough and hard fight between Sweden and England," he hoped.
