France vs Poland Tips

Les Bleus are backed to win to nil in Dortmund and can do it with or without Kylian Mbappe should be not return.

France have won 3 of their last 4 matches against Poland.
France have kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 matches against Poland.
France have kept a clean sheet in their last 4 matches.
Poland have lost their last 2 matches.

Head to Head

France have a 9-3 advantage against Poland with 5 draws in 17 matches.

They last met in December 2022, the game being won by France 3-1.

France Form

France played cautiously in their second Euro 2024 appearance against the Netherlands, the match ending in a goalless draw. They had 1.33-0.39 expected goals, 58% possession and 16-8 shots.

Didier Deschamps earned his 100th victory as the French national coach in the first round, Les Bleus struggling but eventually beating well-organized Austria 1-0, Max Wober scoring an own goal in the first half.

Les Bleus were one of the most dominant teams in the qualifiers, starting the campaign with seven consecutive victories before being stopped on the final day by Greece (2-2 draw in Athens).

They topped the group with 22 points ahead of Netherlands, Greece, Republic of Ireland and Gibraltar.

Poland Form

Poland are having a disappointing run in Euro 2024, losing both of their games so far and having no chance to reach the next phase.

Adam Buksa broke the deadlock in Poland’s Euro 2024 opening match against Netherlands for the Eagles. They couldn’t hold Oranje though, losing the match 2-1 with Wout Weghorst scoring a late winner.

Poland had a poor start to their second round game against Austria, conceding after just nine minutes. Krzysztof Piatek bagged an equalizer in the first half but the Austrians scored two unanswered goals in the second half to claim an important victory.

They struggled in the qualifiers, earning just 11 points from eight matches (three wins, two draws, and three defeats) in Group E, finishing behind the Czech Republic and Albania.

The Euro 2024 ticket was punched through the Nations League playoffs, beating Wales on penalties in the final match.

Verdict

France v Poland

Les Bleus are significantly ahead in terms of quality. They have yet to concede a goal in the tournament, so I will back them to secure a clean win against the struggling and unmotivated opposition.
