&w=707&quality=100)
- Sweden Women are second in Group C after beating Denmark Women 1-0
- Poland Women are still looking for their first win in Switzerland
- Recommended bet: Sweden Women to win to nil
Sweden Women will look to move one step closer to qualifying for the knockout stages of the 2025 Women's European Championship when they take on Poland Women in Lucerne on Tuesday.
Peter Gerhardsson's team are second in Group C behind Germany Women thanks to their 1-0 win over Denmark.
If Sweden win on Tuesday and Denmark fail to beat Germany, they will advance to the quarter-finals of the tournament.
Sweden arrived in Switzerland in good form and they will expect to have too much for the Eaglesses.
Team News
Poland defender Paulina Dudek will need to pass a fitness test after being forced off at half-time against Germany on Friday. If she fails to prove her fitness, Basel's Oliwia Wos will look to start at centre-back alongside Emilia Szymczak.
Sweden's Fridolina Rolfo is still nursing an ankle injury and is hoping to return for her team's third group game against Germany.
The stats
&w=707&quality=100)
Poland's defeat to Germany last time out was their first in 11 matches, but they compete in League B in the UEFA Nations League.
Sweden are unbeaten in 13 in all competitions, including their League A campaign in the UEFA Nations League.
Sweden have recorded three clean sheets in their last four matches, while they conceded only four times in six qualifying games.
Poland struggled in front of goal during qualifying, finding the net on four occasions in six matches.
Prediction
Poland only qualified for the tournament via the play-offs and they failed to win any of their fixtures in qualifying. The Eaglesses lost all six ties they played against Austria, Iceland and Germany and there should be a gulf in class on Tuesday.
Sweden have lost only two of their last 20 matches in all competitions and they should set the standard in Lucerne.
In their opening win against Denmark, Sweden registered 18 shots and if they can repeat that level of performance, they should be too strong for Poland.
Poland's lack of quality in the final third has haunted them in recent months and it is unlikely to change against a Sweden team that have kept three clean sheets in their last four fixtures.
