Poland vs England Predictions and Betting Tips
A Robert Lewandowski-led Polish outfit take on the Three Lions in a highly-anticipated matchup in the European World Cup qualifiers this Wednesday. Read on for our expert tips and predictions
Although Poland played the first leg in Wembley without the Bayern Munich striker, they gave a good account of themselves but eventually lost two goals to one as England stretched their unbeaten run in this fixture to seventeen games.
Would the hosts tear down the Three Lions' 100% record ?
Unsurprisingly, Poland were a big winner in their most recent game with the 7-1 thrashing of San Marino. The Poles were already up 4-0 at halftime before Adam Buksa came on in the second half to pick up the match-ball. Although this makes them the top scorers in the group, they're in second on the standings only bettered by this Wednesday's opponents. Now with 11 goals from their last two games, confidence would certainly be going through the roof in Paulo Sousa's camp as they welcome the Euro 2020 finalists to Warsaw.
Birthday boy Bukayo Saka stole the show with a goal and an assist as the Three Lions recorded a 4-0 victory for the second time running. A brilliant display was demanded from the England support as they took to Wembley for the first time since losing to Italy in the Euro 2020 final. They certainly did that- and more- as they made it five wins from five games in Group I. Although they probably qualify for the World Cup finals, they should expect to be given a tough game this Wednesday as the Poles would not only be looking to dismantle their 100% record but also put an end to their run of no losses in a World Cup Qualifiers game away from home since 2009.
