The Sweden vs Poland live stream is starting soon, and it brings you one of the two climactic showdowns of Euro 2020 Group E. While Slovakia vs Spain takes place simultaneously, Sweden will look to secure their top spot in the group; Poland, however, need a win to survive.
Sweden went undefeated in their opening two games, and although a loss against the 4th-placed Poles could have them end the group stage in 2nd, that would still be enough to qualify for the last 16 — and the coveted knockout stage.
