Ruotsi - Puola Ennusteet ja Vetovihjeet

UEFA’s current squad page lists Sweden under Graham Potter with key names including Gyökeres, Elanga, Nygren, Bergvall, Hugo Larsson, Lindelöf, Hien and Nordfeldt. It does not currently list Alexander Isak or Dejan Kulusevski. Poland’s listed squad under Jan Urban includes Lewandowski, Zieliński, Szymański, Kamiński, Cash, Kiwior and Bednarek. UEFA also notes that squad lists are updated on the morning of the match, so official late changes still matter. That squad picture matters. Sweden have enough talent, but if Isak and Kulusevski stay out, a lot of the final-third burden falls on Gyökeres, plus the pace and running of Elanga and the link play of Nygren. Poland look a bit more settled in their key roles: Lewandowski as the penalty-box reference, Zieliński as the technical brain, and Szymański/Cash/Kamiński providing service and width. Sweden’s best route is probably the more vertical one. Against Ukraine, they looked dangerous when they won the ball and went forward quickly, with Gyökeres attacking space and finishing decisively. Guardian’s report also described Potter’s early Sweden as more balanced and structured than before. At home, that suggests Sweden will want an intense start, aggressive pressing spells, and quick deliveries into their front line rather than a slow possession game. Poland’s path is slightly different. Against Albania they had to recover from a mistake and showed they can stay alive in a tense knockout game. Their threat looks more central and moment-based: Lewandowski can punish half-chances, Zieliński can decide games from the edge of the box, and Szymański’s delivery is important. Poland are less explosive than Sweden in transition, but arguably more trustworthy in set-piece and box situations. This looks like a tight, high-pressure playoff final, not a one-sided spot. Sweden have the home edge and arrive off the more convincing semi-final, with Viktor Gyökeres scoring all three goals against Ukraine. Poland, though, may be the steadier side over the wider sample: they are unbeaten in their last six competitive qualifiers/playoff matches I found, and they still have the proven spine of Lewandowski–Zieliński–Szymański. Sweden’s group-stage qualifying form before the Ukraine win was poor, so the semi-final may have lifted them, but it does not erase the earlier volatility
