Sweden faces Poland in round 3 of the Euro group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, June 23rd at Gazprom Arena (Saint Petersburg)
Surprisingly, the Swedish national team manages to lead the group with only one goal scored. And the team didn’t allow the opponents to upset its goalkeeper. The Swedes survived in the match against the Spaniards and won a minimal victory over the Slovaks thanks to Forsberg’s accurate shot from the spot. So far, these are all modest "adventures" of the Blue-Yellows at this EURO. As for the yellow cards, the Swedes received one warning in two matches. Given the position in the standings, Sweden is unlikely to play more aggressively in the third game.

Even the last Poles play more interesting football. Although they lost to the Slovaks at the start, they looked quite combat-ready, and if not for the sending-off in the second half, they could have gained a comeback victory. And unlike the Swedes, the Poles even managed to exchange goals scored with the Spaniards. Lewandowski, who opened the scoring for his goals at UEFA EURO 2020, made a worthy response to Morata's accurate shot. The Poles picked up two yellow cards in the first game and four more in the second. Even in this aspect of the game, Paulo Sousa's charges look more interesting and emotional.
The teams have previously crossed paths 26 times. The Swedes gained 14 victories, the Poles won eight times, and four matches ended in a draw. The last time the teams played was back in 2004. The Yellow-Blues won 3-1 in a friendly match. Moreover, the Swedes beat Poland five in head-to-head confrontations in a row. At the same time, the Polish national team scored only one goal during this period (11-1). Four points allow Andersson's team not to worry about their future in the current tournament. This should be enough to make it to the knockout rounds (in the worst case from third place). The Poles will be more motivated and result-oriented in the third round. Lewandowski has already scored one goal and will try to extend his streak. The match does not claim to be spectacular in terms of content and production, especially considering that goals in Group E are scored extremely rarely. And only the Scots scored less than the Swedes in the tournament (0).
Prediction for the match: Under 2.0 goals scored
