Poland hasn’t beaten Sweden on home soil since 1930, with Tuesday’s victory qualifying for the World Cup.
Graham Potter’s side were woeful in qualifying, although Potter’s predecessor, Jon Dahl Tomasson, was responsible for much of the mess. Potter—a former Brighton & Hove Albion, Chelsea and West Ham United manager—was in charge of just his third game on Thursday night, as Sweden produced its most coherent display in years.
A hat-trick from the "incredible" Viktor Gyökeres saw the Swedes get past Ukraine in their Pathway B semifinal, and hosting Tuesday’s final should boost their chances of qualifying for their first World Cup since 2018. Poland have a wretched record in Sweden, particularly Solna, but Jan Urban’s side is a dynamic and well-drilled unit that’s aiming to enjoy one last dance with Robert Lewandowski leading the line.share rights for those keen to enjoy the drama from the Strawberry Arena in the United States.
