Poland vs Austria: Euro 2024 Group Stage Prediction Match Details
Poland and Austria will face off in the second round group stage match of Euro 2024 at the Olympiastadion in Berlin. Both teams lost their first-round games and are looking for improvement.
Poland Preview & Form
The Poles suffered heartbreak in their opening match against the Netherlands, as they were defeated for the first time under the management of Michal Probierz. Poland had a promising start in the match against the Netherlands, taking an early 1-0 lead from an Adam Buksa header. However, they couldn’t hold on to their advantage, as Cody Gakpo equalized 10 minutes after Buksa found the back of the net, and Wout Weghorst scored the decisive goal in the 83rd minute, resulting in a 2-1 loss for Poland. The Poles have now suffered only two defeats in their last 10 matches. Michal Probierz anticipates that his side can put on their best form in this must-win match, as a defeat in the match could see the end of their Euro journey only if they advance as one of the four best third-place finishers.
Austria Preview & Form
Austria kicked off its Euro 2024 campaign by suffering a 1-0 defeat against France in their opening game. They showed resilience during the match but ultimately succumbed to a very unfortunate deflection off Max Wöber’s header in the first half. The defeats saw Ralf Ragnick’s side Austria’s seven-match unbeaten streak come to an end, picking up six consecutive victories and a draw. They will be highly motivated to get the better side of Poland, but it is expected to be a tough test against the side they have failed to defeat in any of their meetings. A defeat will sink them to rock bottom in Group D, but a win will keep them at the right pace for the knockout stage.
