The two sides met last summer at Euro 2020, when Sweden came out on top in the group-stage match, but only one of them will be in Qatar for football's biggest tournament.

Sweden needed extra-time to reach this stage, beating Czech Republic 1-0 in the semi-final as Robin Quaison struck the winner in the 110th minute. Poland automatically moved through to the final after Russia were removed from qualifying following the invasion of Ukraine.

It's a similar qualification record for both Poland and Sweden - they have both been at three World Cups since 1994, appearing in 2002, 2006 and 2018.
