Slovakia’s shock win over Poland threw Group E wide open especially after Sweden frustrated Spain to a 0-0 draw. In the second round of matches, Sweden will be taking on Slovakia, with both looking at this as a winnable clash after their fortunes in the opening round. Sweden were conservative against Spain and will be very pleased with their performance in Seville. Heading to Russia for the second game, they should be targeting to go a step better and win but they will have to put up a stronger performance. Drawing with Spain was down to their hosts’ wastefulness, as well as their goalkeeper’s brilliance. Sweden remain a good side, and especially defensively; they have five wins in their last six matches and in that run, they’ve kept five clean sheets, only conceding one goal. In six matches against Slovakia, Sweden have never lost; three have ended in draws though.

Slovakia’s win over Poland was one of the competition’s shock results, though Poland aren’t known to be a strong side at the Euros. For Slovakia, they have no loss in their last six matches, but won only two in that run. They have just three clean sheets in their last 11 matches and going here that is an area to improve on. Three times in the last five matches, they’ve managed to score two goals and that is an area they will look to threaten Sweden though in the last four matches they’ve played away from home, they’ve failed to score in three. Slovakia had a man advantage for the final 28 minutes against Poland and their winning goal came during this time. While there’s no taking anything from Milan Skriniar’s goal, for Slovakia, the opening goal was fortuitous and set the ground for their victory.
