Reporters' views
Joanna Markiš, Poland reporter
The feeling around the Polish team is positive despite the opening defeat against 2022 runners-up Germany, the tournament debutants making a strong impression with a well-rounded performance. Captain Ewa Pajor said as much as she looked ahead to Sweden, urging her team-mates to keep their heads high as the pressure mounts.

As was the case for Germany, much of the build-up for Sweden's meeting with tournament debutants Poland has focused on the prolific Pajor. In their bid to stop, or at least slow down, the prolific Barcelona forward, Sweden may be able to gain some valuable insight from club team-mate Fridolina Rolfö, whose potential return to the starting line-up also offers encouragement. “She’s in good shape and hungry to play,” says assistant coach Magnus Wikman.
What the coaches say
Nina Patalon, Poland coach: "Sweden can manage the match brilliantly, its tempo. They are a team with great discipline. They know when to accelerate and they use it perfectly. They also have physical qualities, which means that we will also have to be very vigilant on set-pieces."
Peter Gerhardsson, Sweden coach: "I think Poland played very well against Germany, they had some good chances. Especially with Ewa Pajor, one of the world’s greatest players, we have to take care of her. We need to be good in transitions, defending deep. It’s going to be a difficult game but we need to play well."
