What the coach has to say

Peter Gerhardsson, Sweden coach: “We suspected Denmark would do something different this time [compared to last month]. They played five at the back, and I’m not sure they’ve ever played that defensively. But we still thought there was space to exploit. At half-time we discussed upping the tempo a bit, to pick up the pace and not allow Denmark any rest.”

Poland vs. Sweden: Previous Meetings & Stats

Poland and Sweden first faced each other during the 2013/14 Women’s World Cup qualifiers. Sweden won both matches and maintained their dominance with further victories in the Women’s EURO 2017 qualifiers and a 2021 international friendly.

This time, the teams meet at a major tournament rather than in qualification. With much more at stake, it will be interesting to see how the match unfolds. Poland had never scored against Sweden until their last meeting in April 2021, when Ewa Pajor netted twice — first opening the scoring, then equalizing at 2-2 in the second half. However, Sweden eventually pulled away to win 4-2, with goals from Lina Hurtig and Caroline Seger.
