Group Standings and Form
Sweden enters the match with momentum after a 2-1 victory over Romania. Forward Viktor Gyokeres scored the winning goal, helping Sweden secure the top spot in Group 4. The team aims to maintain their perfect start in the competition.
Poland arrives in Solna seeking their first goal of the campaign. Led by striker Robert Lewandowski, the Polish side opened their tournament with a 0-0 draw against Bosnia and Herzegovina. Poland currently has one point, trailing Sweden by two points.
Team News and Tactical Outlook
Sweden must adjust their lineup following an injury to striker Alexander Isak. Isak sustained the injury during the win against Romania and has returned to his club, Liverpool, for treatment.
