Croatia
Poland has recently adopted a more defensive approach in their last two games, but it hasn't worked out in their favor, as they lost both matches—1:3 against Portugal and 0:1 against Croatia. With their backs against the wall, they're playing at home today with everything to gain and nothing to lose. Expect them to shift tactics, likely pairing Piatek alongside their star striker, Lewandowski, in search of the crucial three points.
Croatia, on the other hand, has secured two important wins and currently sits second in the challenging Group A. While they’re in a stronger position than Poland, they won't take this match lightly and are sure to put up a strong fight. Both teams have similar quality in their squads, which promises an exciting and competitive encounter.
What we say
Both Teams to Score
Poland will likely go all out for the win from the first minute, probably starting with two strikers. With so much at stake, they'll push forward aggressively, which could leave gaps for Croatia to exploit and potentially score. For Croatia, even a draw at this stage would be seen as a positive result, so they may be more cautious, focusing on solid defense while capitalizing on any opportunities.
Given the attacking abilities of both teams and their motivation to win, we expect to see goals from both sides.
