As the eagerly anticipated match between France and Poland approaches, it's time to take a closer look at the current form and prospects of both teams. Let's face it, the highly favored French team has not showcased their best performance at the start of the tournament. Despite securing a win in their opening game and a draw against the Netherlands, which was enough to ensure their progression to the round of 16, their grip on the top spot in the group is far from certain. Therefore, we can expect them to field their strongest lineup without resting key players, including the masked Kylian Mbappé, who is set to return.
In their previous match, the absence of their star player, Mbappé, was quite evident, particularly in their effectiveness in front of goal. Mbappé is a player who naturally finds himself in goal-scoring situations. Although he didn't score in the first match against Austria, he usually capitalizes on such opportunities. However, France's strength is not solely dependent on one player. Creative displays from Antoine Griezmann and the wing play of Ousmane Dembélé have been notable, and the attack should not be a concern for France as they move forward in the tournament. Securing the top spot in their group remains their primary objective, as the group winner will face the runner-up from the Czech group. Honestly, neither the Czech team nor Turkey should pose much of a challenge for France, making them favorable opponents in the round of 16.
Poland, on the other hand, has no chance of advancing to the next round. While they will undoubtedly be motivated to finish the tournament on a positive note, it is expected that their biggest stars might be rested. No club would want their key players to risk injury in a match that holds little significance.
France's strength lies predominantly in their attack, and I believe they will manage to score at least once in both halves. With Mbappé back in the lineup and the attacking prowess they have shown, France should be able to secure a convincing victory and aim for the top spot in their group.
