Sweden vs Poland predictions for this UEFA EURO 2020 battle on Wednesday at Gazprom Arena. In the decisive match in Group E, the Swedes can secure their place in the quarter-finals with a draw, while the Poles are in need of a win. Read on for our free predictions and betting tips.
Sweden
The Swedes go into the third match knowing that a draw is enough to see them through to the last 16. Therefore, they can opt for a more defensive game, risking less in attack by having fewer players going forward and keeping more in defence.
Undoubtedly, the player to watch among the Swedish team is Alexander Isak, who after a solid game against Spain, played an impressive match again against Slovakia.
Out of eight total meetings with the Poles, the Swedes have won on seven occasions.
Poland
Going into this tournament, Poland were never considered among the top European teams but even still their performance has been lacklustre and the results are not going their way.
Poland has no choice but to go out and play for victory in this game, as even a draw would not help them qualify.
The Poles have Robert Lewandowski, arguably the best centre-forward in the world, on their side but if his team-mates are unable to keep up and get the ball to him, the danger he poses is diminished. This is what we have been seeing so far this tournament.
Key Stats
Sweden vs Poland Predictions
As we have said, the Swedes need a draw to achieve their objective, and they are a team that, when playing defensively, are very difficult to beat – they have only conceded one goal in their last eight games. Furthermore, the Poles are playing weakly in offensive and lacking inspiration. That is why we think this match could end in a draw.
We think it will be a very close game with few opportunities and expect the game to have less than 1.5 total goals.
