In the matches over the past two years, France has scored 41 goals (2.6 per game) while conceding 18 (1.1 per game). During the same period, Poland has scored 25 goals (1.6 per game) and conceded 10 (0.6 per game).
One has to go back to 1982 to find the last time Poland defeated France, winning 3-2 at the World Cup hosted by Spain.
France is expected to win this match by at least 2 goals. With Poland officially eliminated, their morale and motivation will surely be impacted. Additionally, with the White Eagles now playing more openly in search of goals, the experienced and fast French players will have opportunities to showcase their quality. France’s superior squad depth, motivation, and head-to-head record make them capable of securing a comfortable victory.
At least 3 goals: For Poland, another defeat is unlikely to be a major concern at this point, so the White Eagles may now focus on scoring more goals. In an open encounter, this match is predicted to produce a high-scoring affair.
