Sweden arrives buoyed by a recent 3-1 win over Ukraine, sparked by Viktor Gyokeres' hat-trick, yet their defensive frailties persist, having conceded in eight consecutive qualifiers.

The tactical battle will hinge on Sweden's direct attacks versus Poland's midfield control, setting the stage for a tightly contested encounter with high stakes and fine margins.

Verdict

BT4Y analyst view

Poland's composed possession game and relentless scoring record make them a tactically sound choice to avoid defeat in this high-pressure playoff final. Sweden's defensive vulnerabilities and key absences weaken their chances despite home support and Gyokeres' form, tipping the balance in Poland's favor for a crucial win.

Main risk

Poland’s goalless draw with Bosnia-Herzegovina highlighted a different concern.
