In the round of 16 of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, France, the current champion, will play Poland at the Al Thumama Stadium on Sunday. France qualified for the knockout round by winning their first two group-stage games. Didier Deschamps, the team’s head coach, rested key players in their final group stage game, which they lost 1-0 to Tunisia on Wednesday.
In their final group-stage match, Poland lost to Argentina 2-0 on Thursday. In their most recent match, Mexico defeated Saudi Arabia to tie Poland for fourth place in the league standings with four points. Poland’s superior goal difference (0, compared to Mexico’s -1) allowed them to narrowly advance to the knockout stage. The last time Poland reached the knockout stage was in 1986 when Brazil defeated them. Three times in a row, France has advanced to the knockout stage.

France vs Poland Prediction :
Kylian Mbappe, the team’s leading scorer, was rested by Les Bleus and started on the bench. For the game, they should have a team that is fresh and well-rested, which could work in their favor. They are anticipated to put on a strong performance in this match, as they have never lost in their previous seven encounters with Biao-czerwoni.
In their three group-stage games, Poland has only scored two goals, both of which came against Saudi Arabia, a weak opponent. They might have trouble here because they haven’t scored in three straight games against the world champions. We anticipate that France will have little trouble defeating their eastern rivals and making it to the next round, given the form of the two teams.
Prediction: France 2-1 Poland
