Sweden vs. Poland 6/23/21 Euro Cup 2021 Soccer Pick, Odds, and Prediction

Sweden and Poland are clashing at Gazprom Arena in round 3 of Group E in the Euro Cup 2021. Surprisingly, Sweden is at the top of this group with 4 points, and they are now undefeated in their last 7 games while winning 6 of those 7 games. Poland is in last place with only 1 point, but they still have a shot at advancing to the next stage with a win in this game.

So, as I’ve mentioned, Sweden is at the top with 4 points, but they have scored only 1 goal so far while conceding 0 goals. Sweden was playing probably the best defense in this tournament against Spain in round 1, and that game has ended in a 0-0 draw. In their second match against Slovakia, Sweden has had 42% of ball possession, 4 shots on goal, 7 corner kicks, 2 big chances created, and a decent 84% of the correct passes. Neither team has had the edge in this game, until the 77^th minute when Sweden was awarded a penalty kick, which they turned into a goal. Sweden has won this match 1-0. Forsberg is the only goalscorer for Sweden right now. With a loss here, Sweden would drop to second or third place, but with the defense, they are playing, I think it’s safe to say Sweden will be advancing to the next stage.

Poland is still winless in this tournament, and they are winless in their last 5 games. With only 1 point, 2 scored goals, and 3 conceded goals, Poland is in the last place of this group, but with a win, they would most likely advance to the next stage. Lewandowski and Linetty have each scored 1 goal for Poland at the moment. In their last game against Spain, Poland has had extremely low 24% of ball possession, 2 shots on goal, 1 corner kick, 2 big chances created, and a low 59% of the correct passes. Poland got really lucky in this game, and after they conceded a goal, Poland has tied the score in the second half. In the 58^th minute, Spain has hit the post from the penalty spot, and the final score of this match was 1-1. Lewandowski is the x-factor in this team, and he certainly doesn’t need a lot to score a goal. Poland must go for the win in this match, and I think they will do everything possible to get it.

The trends are heavily on Sweden’s side in this matchup, and with Sweden’s defense, I think this will be a tough game for both sides. Everything is telling me to take Sweden or possibly a draw in this one, but I have a feeling about Poland in this one.
