France Team News
France makes the job done with two starting victories against Australia and Denmark. In the last round against Tunisia, coach Didier Deschamps rotate the squad and rest key players.
France showed us that they are a very good attacking side and the attacking trio of Ousman Dembele, Kylian Mbappe, and Olivier Giroud can score against every team on the planet. In two games they scored six goals and missed a lot of good chances.
At the same time, France showed us that they can struggle in defence. They conceded a goal in every game in the group.
The world champion from 2018 made it into the knockout stage once again and they have a very good draw and opportunity to make it through the quarter-finals.
Poland Team News
The general opinion is that Poland played one of the worst football in the group stage. They won four points and scored two goals. They made it into the knockout phase only because of a better goal difference with Mexico.
This is the first time that Poland qualify for the knockout phase of the World Cup since 1986.
In the group stage Poland failed to score in two games but at the same time kept two clean sheets. Their best game, or best half, comes against Saudi Arabia. In every other half, they were very poor.
Poland has only 34% of ball possession (third worst at the tournament) and only 6.3 shots per game. Only Costa Rica has less. In the group stage, they usually played 3-5-2 but against Argentina, it was a 4-4-2 formation.
H2H
The last time they played against each other was in 2011 in a friendly game. France won 1-0.
Team News and Injuries
France: Lucas Hernandez is out.
Poland: No fresh injuries.
France vs. Poland Prediction
France has a great chance of quality for the quarter-final and we think that they are a much better team than Poland. Poland is a very defensive team with no creativity and they are struggling to create a chance and score a goal.
Deschamps give a rest to key players and they now have more energy for this game. So we believe that France will go into the next stage and everything besides that will be a huge surprise.
