Soccer-Swedes sitting pretty ahead of decisive Poland clash

Sweden will reach the knockout stages of Euro 2020 as unlikely Group E winners if they beat Poland on Wednesday, but it will be no easy task as their opponents need a victory to have any hope of keeping their last-16 dream alive.

The Group E winners will head to Hampden Park in Glasgow, where they will face one of the third-placed teams from groups A, B, C or D on June 29, and Sweden defender Mikael Lustig, who spent seven years at Scottish club Celtic, has his sights set on a return to the city."There'll definitely be Swedish fans there, there's a lot of Swedes living in Great Britain so they'll be able to travel there, and I have a lot of friends in Glasgow," Lustig told a news conference.

Striker Alexander Isak has provided flashes of brilliance in the Swedish attack and Lustig is not surprised that he has attracted attention. After losing their opener to Slovakia 2-1, Poland got their campaign back on track with a 1-1 draw against Spain, but they must beat Sweden to have any chance of reaching the knockout stage.
