Sweden's victory against Romania was closely fought, but they do deserve credit for limiting their opponents to just one shot on target.
There is some scepticism regarding Graham Potter's suitability for the role in the dugout, with the country's performances on the pitch at the 2026 World Cup not particularly impressive.
However, reaching the round of 32 should not be seen as a poor achievement itself considering conquerors France are among the best teams in the world.
With Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres set to start once again, they will need to be supported adequately if they are to regularly threaten, so expect to see Sebastian Nanasi and Alexander Bernhardsson play in wide roles.
Poland may have been impressive from a defensive perspective against Bosnia-Herzegovina, but they created frustratingly little in the final third.
That game was in fact the second time in three fixtures that they failed to score, while it was also just the first time in seven outings that they kept a clean sheet.
Boss Jan Urban will be aware of the fact that his side have lost eight of their last 10 clashes with Sweden, winning on just one occasion.
Legendary striker Robert Lewandowski is still a key part of the team's attack, and he is set to lead his side out once again on Monday.

Whispers predicts: Sweden 2-0 Poland
With Sweden's record against Poland so strong, it makes sense that the bookmakers have priced a home win at 10/11 (1.91).

Considering Isak has scored five goals in eight games this season, it would make sense to bet Alexander Isak to Score at 11/10 (2.1).
Given Poland have failed to score in two of their last three games, it could be worthwhile to back Under 0.5 Goals for Poland at 2/1 (3).
> Over 1.5 Goals for Sweden at 5/6 (1.83) | Likelihood: Probable
> Alexander Isak to Score at 11/10 (2.1) | Likelihood: Possible
