Sweden opened with a 2-1 home win over Romania, owns the recent head-to-head advantage, and has been reliable after taking the lead at home. Poland opened with a goalless draw and showed limited attacking efficiency. Sweden’s broader attacking options and home advantage make them slight favorites, though a draw remains a real threat.
Sweden have conceded 20 goals in their last 10 matches, highlighting defensive inconsistency.
Poland’s overall recent form is respectable; if they score first, their counterattacking threat could change the match unexpectedly.

Sweden opened with a 2-1 home win over Romania and have won every home game this season when leading; they have taken 4 of the last 5 meetings with Poland, with Isak and Gyökeres in fine form. Poland's 0-0 opener exposed blunt attacking output, and they have never recovered from going behind away from home.
Sweden's defense was torn apart by elite opposition this summer, raising doubts about their ability to keep a clean sheet
Poland field a well-rated back line and still possess Lewandowski, whose opener would quickly erode Sweden's home advantage

Model insight
Sweden boasts a strong home advantage and historical dominance over Poland. While Poland struggled offensively in their opener, Sweden's lethal attack led by Isak and Gyokeres, backed by favorable market odds, points to a solid home victory.
Poland's lethal counter-attacks, spearheaded by Lewandowski, could exploit Sweden's defense early on, considering both teams' high first-half goal rates.
If Poland replicates their opening match's defensive solidity and frustrates Sweden's attackers, a low-scoring draw or smash-and-grab away win becomes a serious threat.

Sweden opened with a 2-1 home win over Romania and have beaten Poland 3-2 in each of their last two home meetings, a clear bogey-team edge. Poland laboured to a 0-0 against Bosnia and Herzegovina and look blunt going forward; once they fall behind on the road they rarely recover. Isak and Gyökeres should outpunch a Lewandowski line that just failed to score.
If Poland score first, their low block could drag the game into a stalemate or a smash-and-grab
Both sides have seen first-half goals in eight of their last ten competitive matches, so the scoreline may open up

Model insight
Sweden opened with a 2-1 home win over Romania and have won 100% of recent home matches in which they took the lead, while the head-to-head record reads 16 wins, 4 draws and 9 defeats in 29 meetings, including 4 wins in the last 5 this century. Poland were held 0-0 at home by Bosnia and have lost all of their last 10 away games when trailing. With Isak and Gyökeres in form, a narrow Sweden win fits best.
Poland still have the experienced pairing of Lewandowski and Świderski, so one set piece or quick counter can swing the match, and the space behind Sweden's advanced full-backs is a real concern.
Sweden's defence was opened up repeatedly this summer (0-3 to France, 1-5 to the Netherlands), showing their centre-back and full-back cover is not watertight, so Poland are capable of stealing a result.
