Sweden v Poland betting tips: Swedes in pole position

They only need to avoid defeat to secure a top-two finish and they are 1/2 to do so in the double chance market, with the draw on offer at 11/5.

A draw would be no use to Poland and they are 13/8 for the win which would secure a top-two finish while they would go through as group winners with a victory if Slovakia v Spain ends in a draw.

That would be quite a turnaround for the Poles, who lost 2-1 to Slovakia and then trailed Spain but they grabbed a deserved equaliser early in the second half when Bayern Munich forward Robert Lewandowski headed in at the back post.

Sweden v Poland head-to-head

Sweden have won five successive meetings with Poland and had kept clean sheets in four of those before The Eagles at least managed a late consolation in a 3-1 defeat when the teams last met in a friendly in 2004.

Poland have not won this fixture since 1991 but at least came out on top in the only previous encounter at the finals of a major tournament.

That was during the second group stage at the 1974 World Cup when Poland claimed a 2-1 win in Stuttgart.

Previous XI

Poland: Szczesny, Bednarek, Glik, Bereszynski, Puchacz, Klich, Moder, Zielinski, Jozwiak, Lewandowski, Swiderski.

Key battles

It was felt heading into the tournament that Lewandowski would be vital to Poland’s chances of progressing and it still looks that way after his equaliser kept their hopes alive.

Lewandowski scored a record 41 Bundesliga goals last season and is the 11/4 favourite in the first goalscorer betting while he is 2/1 to find the net in a Poland win.

Sweden also carry an attacking threat in the shape of 21-year-old La Liga player of the year Alexander Isak, who produced one weaving run from deep against Slovakia which almost opened the scoring.

Isak also hit the post against Spain and is 8/5 to have two or more shots on target here.
