France and Poland They close the group stage with very different objectives on this third day of the group stage corresponding to the group D of Euro 2024. On the one hand, the French team is looking for the first one that does not depend exclusively on what they do in the match. In short, France would have to add one more point than the Orange or win by one more goal difference Koeman. However, Poland nothing is at stake in this match. With two defeats, their chances of qualifying for the round of 16 are null. Obviously, all eyes in the game will be on the options of seeing Kylian Mbappé in the starting eleven after being left out on the second day, due to the nasal fracture he had suffered at the end of the match against Austria.
Probable alignments of France and Poland
France’s probable lineup: Maignan; Koundé, Upamecano, Saliba, Theo Hernández; Kanté, Tchouaméni; Dembélé, Griezmann, Thuram; and Mbappé.
Poland’s likely lineup: Skorupski; Bednarek, Dawidowicz, Kiwior; Frankowski, Slisz, Zielinski, Piotrowski, Zalewski; Urbanski and Lewandowski.
How France arrives at the match against Poland
France has four points without any French player having scored a direct goal. It was an own goal for Austria, and two clean sheets, which allowed Deschamps’ team to add four points that give them a chance to reach first place, although it depends on the result in the Netherlands. In France, Deschamps is asked to risk a little more to try to score more goals.
How Poland arrives at the match against France
With zero points and a disappointing participation in the first two games. The truth is that Michal Probierz’s team arrived at the Euro already weakened due to the absences or physical problems of its forwards – among them Lewandowski who was only able to play 30 minutes. Now they hope to say goodbye with a good taste in their mouths, although they know that France is not going to make it easy for them.
