France made it to the Round of 16 with six points. Everything seemed to go as planned after suffering a heartbreaking setback in Tunisia. But throughout the group phase, Poland played a very different brand of football. Based on goal differential, they were dependent on the result of the match between Mexico and Saudi Arabia to move on to the knockout round.Rounderms of appearance, France and Poland are radically dissimilar. While France places a strong emphasis on scoring goals and advancing, Czeslaw Michniewicz’s team places a strong emphasis on defense.
France Vs. Poland
France Team
current champions In their final group game, France unusually lost to Tunisia. However, given that they tested their bench in that game, they would have to declare it an upset and continue. Les Blues had shown a strong performance in their opening two games. They scored two goals vs. Denmark and four over Australia.
Poland Team
Poland had trouble advancing to the rounRound16. They have quality, particularly in Robert Lewandowski, but they lacked bite in their performance against Argentina. They relied firmly on Wojciech Szczesny in goal, and they didn’t try to score because they knew that even a draw would advance them. They can’t allow France, who will annoy them with back-to-back attacks, to take advantage of them by being that defensive.
France Vs. Poland Head-to-Head
Before this, France and Poland had 16 meetings. Eight of France’s games were won, three were lost, and five were drawn. France and Poland have only ever faced off in a world cup, where The Eagles defeated France 3-2. Since then, a lot has changed, and France is currently one of the favorites to win the Cup.
France Vs. Poland Prediction
The defensive tactics used by Poland against Argentina and France will both fail. In a 3-0 victory, France will advance to the quarterfinals.
Players to Watch
Olivier Giroud, a French striker, needs one more goal to assume sole control of the top spot in the nation’s all-time scoring list. He’ll try to take advantage of this chance. And Szczesny will be the one to put distance between these two groups.
