Group E Outlook - Spain, Poland, Sweden and Slovakia
Group E consists of four countries: Spain, Poland, Sweden and Slovakia.
Spain has participated in the 11th time in 7 consecutive tournaments. It boasts three wins and one runner-up. Currently 6th in the FIFA rankings.
In the qualifying, Spain fought in Group E and passed the dangerous 1st place with 8 wins and 2 draws. It was a stable result with 31 goals and 5 goals.
The team has become a young team, completely breaking away from the former Barcelona-centered soccer team, but that is also a cause for concern. The returning coach Luis Enrique continues the fight without fixing the members.
Poland is the fourth appearance in four consecutive tournaments. The first two were defeats in the group league, but in the previous tournament, which was co-sponsored in his own country, he advanced to the top eight. 21st place in the FIFA ranking, which is a reasonable position.
In the qualifying, Poland fought in Group E and passed the 1st place with 8 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. With 18 goals and 5 goals, a solid defense is the lifeline of the team. Lewandowski of Ace scored 6 points.
In January 2021, just before the tournament, the coach was changed to former Portugal national team Paulo Sousa. It's probably aimed at aggressive soccer, not just defensive soccer. Will this change be good or bad?
Sweden has participated in 6 tournaments for the 7th time in a row. It is a regular country of EURO these days. 18th in the latest April FIFA rankings.
In qualifying, Sweden fought in Group E and finished second with 6 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss. 23 goals and 9 goals. It's a well-balanced team.
Immediately before the tournament, Ibrahimovic returned to the national team and became a hot topic, but in the end it was announced that he would not participate in the tournament due to injury.
Slovakia has participated in two consecutive tournaments for the second time. The FIFA ranking is 36th.
In the qualifying, Slovakia was 4 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses in Group E, but in the playoffs he defeated Ireland and Northern Ireland to play in the main race.
In the main race, they will be competing for the best 16 with Poland and Sweden, but winning the playoffs will be a great weapon.
Spain stands out in this group. The remaining three teams will be competing for another ticket.
In Poland, the result of Lewandowski of Ace will be a big key. If Lewandowski is unexploded, it should be a win-win for Sweden.
If the whole group gets into a melee, chances may come in Slovakia.
