Poland vs Austria Prediction and Betting Tips | June 21st 2024

Poland will take on Austria in their UEFA Euro 2024 group-stage clash at the Olympiastadion Berlin on Friday. Both teams suffered defeats in their campaign openers, with Poland losing 2-1 to the Netherlands and Austria suffering a narrow 1-0 loss to France.

Biało-czerwoni had a good start to their game against the Netherlands, as Adam Buksa gave them an early lead in the 16th minute following a brilliant corner kick from Piotr Zieliński. Cody Gakpo equalized for the Netherlands in the 29th minute and substitute Wout Weghorst made an instant impact, scoring in the 83rd minute, almost immediately after coming off the bench.

Das Team put up a strong fight against France in their campaign opener and it was Maximilian Wöber's own goal that condemned them to a narrow loss. They edged out the 2018 FIFA World Cup champions in terms of possession (52%) and also had three shots on target.

They have met once in the European Championship before, with their group stage meeting in the 2008 edition ending in a 1-1 draw.
The White-Reds are unbeaten in their last five meetings against Burschen, recording three wins and keeping two clean sheets.
Poland are winless in their last five games in the European Championships, suffering four losses, with one of these defeats coming on penalties. They have not kept a clean sheet in their last six games in the competition.
Austria have seen conclusive results in their last six games in the European Championships, with four losses and two wins.

Poland vs Austria Prediction

Biało-czerwoni conceded a late goal in their campaign opener against the Netherlands and will be desperate to bounce back with a win here. They face France in their final group-stage game next week, thus it is crucial for them to win this match.

Robert Lewandowski is back in full training and should start here after being an unused substitute in the first match of the competition. Kacper Urbański is likely to be dropped to the bench in favor of the national team's top scorer.

Das Team held their ground against France and Ralf Rangnick will be happy with his team's performance despite a narrow defeat. He is likely to stick with a similar starting XI from that match and Marko Arnautović might get the nod to start.

Austria have just two wins in the European Championships thus far and are winless in their last five meetings against the White-Reds. Lewandowski's addition should be a boost for Poland, who should be able to eke out a narrow win.

Prediction: Poland 2-1 Austria
