Strawberry Arena will host the World Cup playoffs final between Sweden and Poland with both sides eyeing a place on the biggest stage. However, we predict a 2-1 away win as Poland have found their best form. The Scandinavians are dealing with key absences, as Alexander Isak remains sidelined and defender Isak Hien is unlikely to feature, but the attacking duo of Gyokeres and Elanga offers pace and directness. Still, Sweden’s form is concerning, averaging just 1.40 points per game and conceding 1.70 goals per match, with only 10% clean sheets.
Poland travel to Solna in far stronger shape, picking up 2.30 points per game and winning 70% of their last 10 matches. They’ve been defensively solid, conceding just 0.80 goals per game, while maintaining attacking consistency with Robert Lewandowski leading the line. The return of Nicola Zalewski and expected inclusion of Oskar Pietuszewski adds further balance and creativity.
Considering Poland's significantly better form and Nicola Zalewski's return, we are tempted to bet on Away Win, alongside BTTS and Over 2.5 goals (Sweden’s games are open and Poland always find chances).
This World Cup 2026 match will be played on Tuesday 31 March 2026 at 19:45.
