Poland take on Austria in the round 2 match of UEFA Euro-2024 group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, June 21st at Olympiastadion (Berlin).
Poland constantly faces challenges. The "White Eagles" confirmed their status by qualifying for another major tournament. However, the journey was extremely difficult for this experienced and quite star-studded team! Fernando Santos, who was brought in after the World Cup, failed in his role, and after just half a year, he was replaced by Probierz. Yet, even under his leadership, the team continued to drop points, and the recognized powerhouse ultimately lagged significantly behind both the Czech Republic and even Albania. Yes, in March, they decisively defeated Estonia in the first round of playoffs, but in Wales, during the crucial stage, Szczęsny's experience was needed to win the penalty shootout after a 0-0 draw in regular and extra time. Before the tournament, the team performed well, winning against both Ukraine and Turkey. However, they lost Milik against the former, and there was a threat to Świderski against the latter, although he recovered quickly. Even Lewandowski had to be substituted before halftime. At the Euros, they began their campaign against the Netherlands without Robert, and despite taking the lead, they couldn't hold on and lost 1-2.

Austria has not managed to qualify for a World Cup in this century. Just before Qatar, they lost their playoff match and overall did not look impressive. However, last year in the Euro qualifiers, they performed only slightly worse than the favorite, Belgium. They even managed to draw with Belgium away, although they lost at home. This did not prevent them from comfortably securing second place and thus booking a spot in yet another Euro. Before heading to the tournament, Austria, still waiting for Alaba, won friendly matches against Slovakia and Turkey in March (defeating Turkey 6-1) and Serbia in June, and only drew 1-1 with Switzerland just before their move to Germany. At the Euros, they started against an obvious favorite, France. They fought valiantly but ultimately lost, and a 0-1 defeat, even if it was an own goal, was a fair outcome.
The "White Eagles" have not lost to their neighbors. They have 3 wins and 2 draws, all in the last two decades. "Das Team" is considered the favorite, but it is unlikely that confirming this status will be easy for them. We recommend opting for a bet on "total goals under 2.5."
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
