Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One — Match outcome: France to win — 1.24
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two — Total goals: Under 2.5 — 2.0
France won their opening two World Cup group-stage games but the same can’t be said of Poland, who lost to Argentina 2-0 and drew against Mexico. France are the favourites to get the win and they clearly would do just that.
France’s last game in the group stage ended with under 1.5 when they lost 1-0 to Tunisia, although they benched most of their first team players. However, Poland’s last seven games at least ended with under 2.5 goals. It’s about Poland and their rock-solid defence. What they lack in the attack, they make up for in defence.
are in the right direction as they bid to retain their title, having won the 2018 Russia World Cup four years ago.
They finish as the winners of Group C and will look to proceed to the quarter-final when they come up against Poland this weekend as the favourites.
Poland:
Although Poland qualified for the round of 16, their performance in the group stage was far from their best, at least Robert Lewandowski agreed with that during his post-match interview after the Argentina defeat.
However, they stand a chance to do things right against France but their chances of going through are slim, given the quality in the French team and their results against the favourites have been dreadful.
Antoine Griezmann could get on the scoreboard anytime. The Atletico Madrid forward has been doing great in the competition so far and scored a goal that was controversially disallowed by VAR for offside.
Back France to go through after the final whistle whether the game was forced to settle in extra time or on penalties.
