Poland won home and away when these two met in 2022
Wales were beaten at home by Armenia in qualifying
Poland blew away Estonia on Thursday and they have a string of match-winners who could edge this contest
Poland could have too much for the Welsh
Wales beat Finland 4-1 on Thursday in convincing fashion to book their spot in this Euro 2024 playoff final, but can they secure another home win against Poland? These two sides face off for a place in Germany this summer, with the hosts favoured to win this clash.
However, Wales are at the start of a new era as they look to move on from the heights of Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey. While they’re still developing talent, this young side may fall short in a clash with a Poland side that has a spine of players from top clubs.
Lead by Barcelona’s Robert Lewandowski, Poland have a spine which includes Juve’s starting goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny and Napoli’s Piotr Zielinski. They’ve had the talent to hang in the top tier of UEFA’s Nations League, most recently at Wales’ expense.
Poland won home and away against Wales in 2022 in the Nations League and with a string of big-game players they look like a good bet to edge this showdown. Wales did drop points at home to Turkey and Armenia at home in qualifying and they could fall short of a third successive appearance at the Euros.
