Looking to Recover:
Poland started brightly against the Netherlands but conceded two goals, including a late winner. Robert Lewandowski is expected to return to the starting lineup after missing the first match, which will be a significant boost for their attack.
Austria put in a valiant effort against France, controlling possession and even threatening on goal. They will be hoping to convert their dominance into points in this match.
Head-to-Head:
Historically, Poland holds the upper hand against Austria, winning six out of their 11 encounters. However, Austria has emerged victorious on three occasions, with the remaining two matches ending in draws.
Their lone meeting in the European Championship, a group stage encounter in 2008, resulted in a 1-1 draw.
Prediction:
Both teams are desperate for points; Poland especially, facing a tough match against France next. With Lewandowski back in the mix, Poland has a clear attacking advantage. However, Austria’s strong showing against France suggests they won’t be pushovers. Expect a close contest, with Poland edging out a narrow victory.
Prediction: Poland 2-1 Austria
