Poland vs Slovenia Odds
Poland Team News
Under the leadership of their legendary former player Marcin Lijewski, the Polish team didn´t arrive to this Euro with too big expectations. The only goal that was set was progressing from the group stage, but they didn´t start off well since in the opening round they were crushed by a very powerful Norwegian side 32:21.
Poland opened the match superbly and led 3:0 after the opening five minutes, but once the Norwegian engine got going Poland had no more solutions and suffered a heavy defeat. Now they turn to the main game; the decisive clash against Slovenia that decides who will progress from the group as the second-placed team.
Slovenia Team News
We can say that Slovenia expectedly had problems and bumps in the road in their opener against the main enigma of the tournament, the Faroe Islands. In the first half and the start of the second the Slovenians found themselves on the backfoot chasing the game, but eventually managed to turn things around and chalk up an all-important 32:29 victory.
Without their main player Blaž Janc, who is injured, it was Miha Zarabec who was running the show with seven goals, while Dolenec and Mačkovšek both added four goals, which was enough to avoid a huge upset. Calm and with points on the board, Slovenia now expect the critical game of the group which they will enter as the favourites.
Poland vs Slovenia Prediction
Overall, the Polish team seems weaker than Slovenia both in terms of quality and experience. A decisive match that Slovenia should win, so we opted for the Slovenians to cover the spread for very solid 1.74 odds.
