After failing to qualify for last year's competition, Sweden are making their sixth appearance at the European Under-17 Championship.

Sweden will be desperate to make it to the knockout rounds after failing to progress from the group stage in their previous two tournament appearances.

While they would have been keen to get off to a winning start, they ultimately had to be content with a point after playing out a goalless draw against Slovakia.

Despite failing to claim all three points, Sweden have gone six consecutive games without defeat, conceding no more than one goal in any of those matches.

However, their last two defeats both took place against Friday's opponents, losing 2-1 in qualifying before suffering a heavy 4-0 loss in a friendly earlier this year.

Poland are featuring at a third consecutive European Under-17 Championship after winning five of their six matches in qualifying.

Last year, Poland successfully navigated their way to the semi-finals before their run was ended by a 5-3 defeat to Germany.

Unfortunately for Poland, their hopes of replicating last year's performance were dealt a blow in their tournament opener against Italy.

They ultimately fell to a 2-0 defeat at the AEK Arena despite playing the majority of the second half with a numerical advantage.

Poland will now have to produce strong displays against Sweden and Slovakia if they are to have any chance of reaching the knockout rounds for the third time.

Prediction: Sweden 1-2 Poland
