The UEFA Euro 2020 is back with another important Group E match this week as Poland take on Sweden at the Krestovsky Stadium on Wednesday. Both teams will be intent on reaching the knock-outs this summer and need a victory in this fixture.

Sweden have grown in stature over the past two games and are currently at the top of their group. The Scandinavian outfit already has one foot in the next round but will need to be wary of a negative result in this match.

Poland, on the other hand, rejuvenated their Euro 2020 campaign with an impressive draw against Spain over the weekend. The Poles did slump to a shock defeat against Slovakia in their first game of the competition and will need to be at their best against Sweden.


Sweden vs Poland Head-to-Head

Sweden have an excellent record against Poland and have won 14 matches out of a total of 26 games played between the two teams. Poland have managed only eight victories against Sweden and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.

The previous meeting between the two teams took place in 2004 and ended in a 3-1 victory for Sweden. Poland have shown tremendous improvement over the past decade and have a point to prove in this match.

Sweden vs Poland Prediction

Sweden have punched above their weight at Euro 2020 and are legitimate dark horses going into the next round. The likes of Alexander Isak and Marcus Berg have stepped up admirably in the absence of Ibrahimovic and will need to take it up a notch for the remainder of the competition.

Poland, on the other hand, rely heavily on Robert Lewandowski to bail them out of difficult situations and will need their talisman at his best this week. Sweden have a better balance at the moment, however, and hold a slight upper hand in this match.

Prediction: Sweden 2-1 Poland
