ST PETERSBURG, Russia (Reuters) - 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.
