GK
Wojciech Szczęsny
Szczesny has done well keeping 2 clean sheets in 9 games this season. Though a clean sheet is tough to expect, he will look to keep his side in the tie with his acrobatic saves.
DEF
Cash has been prolific for the poles since he switched his nationality but this game could be his toughest test yet.
Lindelof has been pivotal in leading Sweden to the Qualifiers. He should be able to hold his own against the polish attack.
MID
Though Milik hasn’t been able to feature much in the qualifiers, Poland will hope he will be on top of his game for this one.
Forsberg has 2 goals and 1 assist in 9 games for Sweden. His left foot hasn’t been unleashed to full effect in the qualifiers this season but he will look to change that.
ST
The best striker on the planet right now is in the form of his life. He has got 8 goals and 4 assists in 8 games in the qualifiers.
The veteran is still in top form and is in top shape. He could give the swedes the cutting edge they need to beat Poland.
