Poland host Sweden in the UEFA Nations League. Both sides sit in the same group, and recent results already tell a fairly clear story.
They met last month in this very competition, and that match adds some useful context heading into this repeat fixture a few weeks later.

Contrasting form in the group stage
Sweden have won three and drawn one of their last four Nations League outings, including wins over Romania and Poland either side of a draw in Bosnia. That's a tidy recent run in this specific competition.

Poland's form is more up and down. A 6-0 thrashing of Romania sits right next to back-to-back defeats to Sweden and Bosnia & Herzegovina, so there's genuine inconsistency there.
Zooming out, Sweden's wider 2026 sample includes some big results both ways, heavy wins over weaker sides but also defeats to France and the Netherlands at the World Cup. Their Nations League form specifically has been their strongest patch.
Sweden's current Nations League form is clearly the stronger of the two, even if their results elsewhere this year have been mixed.
Comparative Team Statistics: Poland vs Sweden

Sweden have had the upper hand lately
Sweden have won three of the last four meetings between these two, including a 3-1 win just last month in this same group. Poland's only victory in this set of games goes back to 2022.
| League | Home | Away | Date | Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| UEFA Nations League | Sweden | Poland | 28.09.2026 | 3-1 |
| World Cup - Qualification Europe | Sweden | Poland | 31.03.2026 | 3-2 |
| World Cup - Qualification Europe | Poland | Sweden | 29.03.2022 | 2-0 |
| Euro Championship | Sweden | Poland | 23.06.2021 | 3-2 |
Two of those Sweden wins came by a single goal though, so it hasn't been one-sided on the scoreboard even when Sweden have come out on top.
A gap has already opened up
Sweden sit top of the group with 10 points from four games, while Poland are third on four points from the same number of matches. That's a seven-point gap already after a third of the group completed.
| № | Team | Played | Win | Draw | Loss | GF/GA | Points |

| League B - Group D | |||||||
| 1 | Sweden | 4 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 7/3 | 10 |

| 3 | Poland | 4 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 7/4 | 4 |
| 4 | Romania | 4 | 0 | 0 | 4 | 3/13 | 0 |
Poland's draw and two defeats in that spell explain the gap, while Sweden have lost nothing so far in the group.

Limited team news so far
There isn't much to go on yet for team news this far out. The only entry on file is a yellow card picked up by Kiwior in Poland's squad, which on its own doesn't tell us anything about who's available for this one.
With kickoff still a month away from the data we have, squad news is likely to firm up closer to the match.

Sweden look the more settled side right now, top of the group and with the head-to-head edge from recent meetings. Poland's inconsistency is the bigger concern of the two teams.
Without a market to weigh up here, we're not going to force a pick. The underlying picture favours Sweden, but there's enough time and uncertainty between now and kickoff to hold off.
