Graham Potter will be hoping Sweden have enough to overcome Poland

Sweden beat Poland to qualify for the World Cup and have a chance to build on their winning start to the new Nations League cycle with a victory in Solna on Monday.

Eliminated by France in the last 32 this summer, Graham Potter's side have regrouped, beating Romania 2-1 on Friday and they next take on the Eagles, who drew 0-0 against Bosnia & Herzegovina.

The Poles have lost eight of their last 10 meetings with Sweden and another home success is predicted at the Strawberry Arena.

Team news

Sweden are expected to be without defender Erik Holm, who injured his hamstring in the win over Romania.

Daniel Svensson replaced Holm and may start on Monday.

Nikola Zalewski is a contender to be promoted from the bench for Poland after coming on for Jakub Kaminski in the first half against Bosnia.

Kaminski has reportedly suffered an adductor injury and may miss the remainder of the international break.

The stats

Sweden have won eight of the last 10 meetings, including March's 3-2 play-off victory to qualify for the World Cup.

Both teams have scored in 10 of Sweden's last 11 matches.

Of Poland's last eight away fixtures, six have seen both teams score.

The Swedes have had under 4.5 corners in seven of their last nine fixtures.

Prediction

Sweden have had a mixed time in the Nations League, twice suffering relegation before being promoted back to League B in 2024-25, and they can continue their winning start by beating Poland.

The Swedes have won eight of the last 10 meetings, but the two most recent, played in Solna, saw both sides score and a combined 10 goals, with the Blagult winning 3-2 in 2021 and in March of this year.

Poland drew 0-0 at home with Bosnia, but six of their last eight away matches have featured goals on both sides, while the same is true of 10 of the Swedes' last 11.

Goals look likely again but any strike is unlikely to come from a corner with Sweden taking no more than four flag kicks in seven of their last nine outings, including only three on Friday. Poland’s last two matches have also gone under nine corners.

Score prediction: Sweden 2-1 Poland

Back Sweden to win, Both Teams to Score, Alexander Isak anytime goalscorer & under 9.5 corners @ 4.4/1 with LiveScore Bet
