This UEFA Nations League fixture brings Sweden up against Poland at a moment when both have just come through their opening match of the competition, yet they arrive in very different shape. Sweden have just won 2-1, while Poland could only draw 0-0, so this game is a measure of which side can genuinely build on that first outing. Sweden had both high-scoring games and games where they were blown away in World Cup qualifying, but as soon as they entered this competition they picked up a win straight away. Poland, meanwhile, came through a pre-season spell where they could not score consistently, before opening the competition without conceding. So neither team arrives in red-hot form, but Poland look the more settled of the two in that they are still unbeaten in their last two matches. The pattern of play should see Sweden with slightly more of the ball, based on the numbers from the last 10 matches where possession was fairly even, but Poland clearly shoot on target more, and they are more likely to finish their chances in the second half than the first. If Sweden still have not scored before half-time, the game could stretch out into the closing stages, when both sides tend to give up goals often.
