Sweden vs Poland Preview – prediction, team news, lineups | UEFA Nations League 2026-27

The Eagles have only managed one win in their last five attempts against Blågult!

The Sweden national football team will be locking horns with the Poland national football team for their second group stage encounter of the UEFA Nations League 2026-27 edition. The Friends Arena is all set to witness this interesting contest.

The Graham Potter-led side will be happy with the result of their previous outing against Romania. It was a 2-1 victory for them, securing three important points. They need to come up with a better performance in defence.

The Sweden national football team haven’t been able to secure a clean sheet in their last 16 matches. They will be looking to do so this time around.

The attacking duo of Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres continue to work well for them. The Blågult will now look to come up with a better approach in the midfield. Being at home is surely going to help them out.

The Poland national football team were held to a goalless draw in their opening game of the UEFA Nations League 2026-27 edition. They could have managed a goal or two, but due to a lack of finishing touch, the Eagles failed to do so.

Jan Urban’s men have now gone winless in their last four matches. The upcoming clash is going to be a tough one for them. They will be looking to control the game from the start, but being the visiting side will put some pressure on them.
