Here we are on match-day 3 in Group E, and no one expected the standings to be this tide! With a win and a draw recorded, Sweden tops the group with 4 points and is guaranteed to make it into the next round. Slovakia comes in the second position with 3 points, followed by Spain (2 points) and Poland (1 point).
For this encounter, a win for Lewandowski’s Poland is a must if they are to make it to the next phase of the competition, and Coach Paulo Sousa knows that.
In their opening encounter against Spain, Sweden had to settle for a goalless draw against the Spaniards, however, they set the ball rolling on match-day 2 with a narrow victory over Slovakia (1-0 was the score-line).
On the other hand, Poland lost their opening encounter to Slovakia (1-2), then drew against Spain 1-1 (the Bayern Munich star Robert Lewandowski scored the equalizer in that encounter).
Having scored in both of their matches, needless to say that Poland isn’t shy in front of the adversary’s penalty box. That said, the head-to-head stats gives Sweden as favorites to win this match. We’d have to go as far back as 1991 to be able to find last victory Poland managed to claim over Sweden, and that was a 2-0 win in a friendly encounter.

Now, BET-IBC Tipster Team presents insider predictions for the match:
Asian Football: Poland needs to play more offensively and they will open the game which can produce goals already in the first half.
Duarte: Match to be played in a neutral stadium. I think Poland is slightly better than Sweden. In addition to being better, they really need to win this game. No doubt Poland’s handicap had to be negative.
GC Sports Betting: Sweden has a very dominant and strong defense which Poland could find hard to break down. Sweden doesn’t score many goals. For me, this game has a low-scoring game written all over it.
IgorTips: This is a match where anything can happen even when Poland has suffered so much in the tournament. Still, I think Sweden will be under less pressure knowing that even a draw can secure them a spot in the next round.
Kvasir: We have one of the strongest teams in this group against one of the weakest. I don’t think Sweden will allow the Polish to score and they will be looking to secure first place in the group.
Lady Murasaki: In the last four head-to-head, Sweden has four victories over Poland. In addition, the Swedes with 4 points have the classification practically assured.
LLYTips: Both teams are almost at the same level and it’s pretty hard to predict the outcome, considering the fact that even such a strong team as Portugal could score auto goals twice in their last match against Germany. Poland is the favorite team for now, but we all know the things can change in seconds.
Lorysan: This will be a very important match for the Polish national team. Here they only need a victory to continue the struggle. The Swedes are likely to leave the group only until it is decided where from. The optimal result for them here is a draw or a win. But even a loss will not affect the exit from the group. I think open game here.
Mattybet: These group E games are very exciting because nothing is defined. Poland needs a victory if it wants to be sure that it will advance. Sweden, which has 4 points, wants to secure first place. I think it will be a game with few goals and that Poland will win 3 points.
Mitch: Poland is still dreaming of qualifying for the final round of Euro 2020. By beating Sweden, they could get their ticket for the next round. Sweden is at the top of the group but have had a hard time convincing in the game since the beginning of the event. I think Poland will clearly have the means to take advantage of this match.
No Man: This game is going to be the turning point for the group and will probably determine the runner-up of the group. It will be a tight encounter with each team defending and protecting their own goal. In fact, the two best defensive lines of Euro 2020 will face each other. I see under 2.5 goals here.
PortugalTipster: Sweden is qualified for the next phase with 4 points from 2 games. Poland, with the draw against Spain, left open the possibility of qualification, with a victory in this game, they go to the next stage.
Realtu: Once again, this will be a close and disputed match; however, I do believe Sweden still has some fire to burn and that they will win here.
Salahsyh: Sweden drew their first game against Spain. Without Zlatan and Kulusevski, the attack for Sweden looks weak. Poland lost the first game. I expect this game to be tight and I pick a draw.
Sherbet: Another opportunity for Poland, I think can take over this match and win.
TheTrollManSha: Sweden are 1st in the group, they did a win 1-0 and a draw ended 0-0. They seem a pretty solid team and a draw could be good for them and so I don’t expect them to play very offensively. Poland has to win but I’m not sure they are going to score easily and so try this Under 2.5.
TipsterBetF: Sweden should not lose this match if they need to stay on top of the group. I expect them to play defensively, avoiding conceding early goals. Poland will risk it all here but I don’t foresee a goal in the first half from both sides.
