What: European Championship, women, group C, second round.
Where: Swissporarena, Luzern, Switzerland.
When: Tuesday at 21.00.
TV/radio: Viaplay Sport, Viaplay and P4 Radiosporten.
Conditions: If Sweden wins, the quarter-final spot may be clear already before the group stage finale against Germany. But it requires that Denmark lose points in their match against Germany earlier on Tuesday. However, winning the group can also become important – to likely avoid the world champion Spain in a potential semi-final.
Premier matches: Sweden won 1–0 against Denmark – a narrow but fair victory – after Filippa Angeldahl scored the only goal of the match. Poland stood up surprisingly well against Germany, even if it ultimately became a loss, 0–2.
Polish attacking threat: Sweden has met Poland eight times over the years and won each time. However, in the Polish team is Ewa Pajor – one of the world's most goal-threatening forwards. If there's anyone Sweden must keep an extra eye on, it's the Barcelona star, who became the Spanish league's top scorer with 25 goals the past season.
Injury situation: Positive is that Fridolina Rolfö, who entered the European Championship with a foot injury, is training fully. Rolfö, teammate with Pajor in Barcelona, seems ready for at least a substitute appearance. With Magdalena Eriksson, it's more uncertain. The centre-back has been troubled by an overload injury since the European Championship rehearsal against Norway and also sat on the bench in the premiere against Denmark. Otherwise, both the first goalkeeper Jennifer Falk and the team captain Kosovare Asllani drove individual training programs on Sunday, but the national team has not announced whether it is injury-related or not.
Sweden, possible starting eleven (4–3–3): Hanna Lundkvist, Nathalie Björn, Linda Sembrant, Jonna Andersson – Filippa Angeldahl, Kosovare Asllani, Julia Zigiotti Olme – Johanna Rytting Kaneryd, Stina Blackstenius, Madelen Janogy.
Substitutes: Tove Enblom (mv), Emma Holmgren (mv), Magdalena Eriksson, Smilla Holmberg, Amanda Ilestedt, Amanda Nildén, Hanna Bennison, Rebecka Blomqvist, Lina Hurtig, Sofia Jakobsson, Fridolina Rolfö, Ellen Wangerheim.
National team manager: Peter Gerhardsson.
