France take on Poland in the round 3 match of UEFA Euro-2024 group stage. The match will be played on Tuesday, June 25th at Signal Iduna Park (Dortmund).
Under Didier Deschamps, "Les Bleus" have performed almost flawlessly in World Cups. They won the title confidently in 2018, and in Qatar, they only lost in the final to a highly motivated Argentina via a penalty shootout, despite not being outplayed. However, they lost the "home" Euro 2016 in extra time of the decisive match to Portugal, which played without Ronaldo on the field. At the next such tournament, Mbappé (especially him!) and company were a disappointment. They breezed through the qualifiers, including beating the Netherlands twice. However, in friendlies, they often had lackluster results. At the Euro, they eked out a narrow 1-0 win over Austria, thanks to an own goal orchestrated by Mbappé. Meeting the Dutch again, this time without the nose-injured Kylian, they managed a scoreless draw – the first and so far only one in the tournament.

Poland tried to prove the skeptics wrong but failed. "Kadra" made it to the World Cup and even reached the playoffs. But then came the clearly unsuccessful appointment of Fernando Santos. Even under Probierz, there was no drastic improvement – they finished the qualifiers 4 points behind both the Czech Republic and even Albania. Yes, they managed to win the playoffs, but while they thrashed Estonia in March, they only got past Wales thanks to Szczęsny, who won the penalty shootout after a 0-0 draw in Cardiff. In summer friendlies, they won but lost Milik to injury against Ukraine and Lewandowski at the start of the Euro against Turkey. Despite this, they scored a fairly early goal against the Netherlands. In the end, the Dutch turned the game around and won 2-1, which was quite deserved. They had chances to at least draw with Austria, managing to equalize. But they eventually lost 1-3, despite Robert's return to the field. Poland is the only team that has already lost their chance to progress to the playoffs after just two rounds.
"Les Bleus" have only lost to "Kadra" once in their entire history of nine encounters. In contrast, they have five victories, including winning three of the last four meetings. "The Roosters" are the clear favorites in this pairing. However, they have not been impressive in attack and are extremely pragmatic, while the visitors are simply struggling. We are betting on "total under 3.0 goals."
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
