Team News & Key Players

France enters the game as the tournament favorite. Their midfield is anchored by Kylian Mbappé, who has already scored three goals in the group. Watch out for Antoine Griezmann on the wing – he’s been delivering dangerous crosses and could add a late goal.

Poland relies on the experience of Robert Lewandowski. At 36, he’s still a lethal finisher. The Polish defense will look to Wojciech Szczęsny for crucial saves, especially against French set‑pieces.

Both squads have a few injury concerns. France’s left‑back Lucas Hernandez is a doubt after a thigh strain, while Poland’s midfielder Piotr Gizeli missed the last friendly with a minor ankle tweak. Keep an eye on the official line‑ups 30 minutes before tip‑off.

Head‑to‑head stats show France winning five of the last seven meetings, scoring an average of 2.1 goals per game. Poland, however, has kept a clean sheet in three of those matches, so a tight defensive battle isn’t out of the question.

Betting fans often look at the over/under market. With both teams averaging over 2.5 goals per match in recent games, the over 2.5 bet is a popular choice. If you prefer a safer play, a double‑chance on France or Draw covers the possibility of a late Polish equaliser.

In summary, set your alarms for June 21, pick a reliable stream, and have a quick glance at the latest line‑ups. Whether you’re rooting for the French flair or the Polish grit, the game promises plenty of action. Grab some snacks, settle in, and enjoy the showdown!
