Sweden v Poland Prediction: 5/1 Gyokeres to set Swedes on their way

Sweden face Poland on matchday two of the Nations League Group B4 and the Swedes are aiming to extend their perfect start to the competition.

Graham Potter's side come into Monday's game in Solna in good spirits after beating Romania 2-1 at the same venue on Friday.

That result means the Swedes are already two points clear at the top of their UEFA Nations League group as Poland were held to a 0-0 draw by Bosnia in their first match.

Sweden v Poland Tips Summary

Best Bet - Sweden to win & both teams to score @ 11/4
Alternative Bet - Viktor Gyokeres to be first goalscorer @ 5/1
Bet Builder - Both teams to score, Yasin Ayari 1+ shots & Bartosz Slisz to be booked @ 6/1

Sweden v Poland

Sweden v Poland Prediction

Best Bet: Sweden to win & both teams to score @ 11/4

Sweden beat Poland 3-2 in the group stage of Euro 2020 and the same correct score landed again when the teams met in March's World Cup play-off final.

Poland fought back from 1-0 and 2-1 down before Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres struck the crucial blow for Sweden in the 88th minute.

The Swedes had beaten Ukraine 3-1 in the play-off semi-finals and the goals continued to flow in their matches at the World Cup finals.

They thrashed Tunisia 5-1 in their opening group game before a 5-1 defeat to the Netherlands and a 1-1 draw with Japan.

That set up a last-32 tie against France, who had 12 shots on target in a comfortable 3-0 win, but Sweden should be backed to win a high-scoring clash with the Poles on Monday.

The Swedes saw off Romania 2-1 in their first Nations League fixture, although they have not kept a clean sheet since a 2-0 friendly win over Hungary in June 2025.

Poland drew 0-0 with Bosnia in a dour contest on matchday one. However, their games are usually more open and they drew 1-1 with the Netherlands at home and away in World Cup qualifying.

Veteran striker Robert Lewandowski is capable of troubling a leaky Swedish defence, but the hosts have enough attacking talent to take the three points.

Alternative Bet: Viktor Gyokeres to be first goalscorer @ 5/1

Liverpool forward Alexander Isak scored in Sweden's win over Romania but will be unavailable on Monday due to a thigh problem.

That increases the responsibility on Gyokeres, who has been in fine form for Sweden this year and should be backed to score first.

He completed a hat-trick in the play-off win over Ukraine when Isak was injured, before netting a late winner in the final against Poland.

Gyokeres has fallen behind Kai Havertz in the pecking order at Arsenal, but he scored Sweden's decisive second goal against Romania on Friday with a sharp finish.

With Isak missing, he should take penalties for the home favourites and looks a good bet to break the deadlock.

Sweden v Poland Bet Builder Tip

  • Both teams to score

  • Yasin Ayari 1+ shots

  • Bartosz Slisz to be booked

    Pays 6/1

Poland's goalless stalemate with Bosnia was an anomaly as clean sheets have been scarce for the Poles recently.

Both teams to score has been a winning bet in 10 of Sweden's last 11 games, including March's 3-2 World Cup play-off win over Poland.

Sweden midfielder Yasin Ayari averages 2.7 shots per 90 minutes for Brighton in this season's Premier League and he scored twice in the World Cup rout of Tunisia.

Poland's Bartosz Slisz is a tempting bet to be booked on Monday. He picked up two yellow cards in seven World Cup qualifiers and was sent off for two bookable offences in his most recent appearance for Danish club Brondby.
