Ace Football previews the Group D match between Sweden and Poland in Euro 2020 and offers betting tips, the best odds, and form guides.
The match between Sweden and Poland will kick off this coming Wednesday at Saint Petersburg Stadium for their final game in the group stages of the Euro 2020. Sweden arrive at the Euro 2020 placed 18 in the FIFA world ranking, sitting fairly close to Poland who come here with a ranking of number 21.
Whilst outsiders to top their group, Poland still seem to have a decent opportunity to qualify for the knockout stages. That would be a welcome payback for the disappointment of leaving the Euro 2016 without even scoring a single goal. Booking a place at the Euros perhaps proved a little more exciting than Poland dreamed but they proved to have enough quality for 1st place in the group.

Sweden scored a sustainable 15 times in their previous 10 internationals last 10 matches including Euro 2020 and the tournament qualification, making it 1.5 goals per game.
