Poland take on the visitors Turkey in a Friendly International match. The match will be played on Monday, June 10th at PGE Narodowy (Warsaw).
Poland had qualified for the Euro, but questions remain.The "Eagles" reached the World Cup under a similar scenario. Interestingly, the details are strikingly similar: reliance on a Portuguese coach, which didn't pay off, followed by a last-minute qualification through the Nations League playoff path. Ultimately, Michniewicz led the team to the World Cup, and in Qatar, they managed to advance from the group stage, meaning they didn’t completely fail. Nonetheless, after that journey, Czesław Michniewicz was replaced by Fernando Santos. Santos began his tenure with a 1-3 defeat against the Czechs and lasted about half a year. Under his successor, Probierz, Poland still lagged behind Albania by four points, finishing third in the group. This resulted in a need to play in the March playoffs. Fortunately, they succeeded: a 5-1 home victory against Estonia, a 0-0 draw in Cardiff, and a penalty shootout win over Wales. The summer training camp started with a match against Ukraine. They scored three goals in the first half hour and ultimately won 3-1, but lost Milik to an injury sustained out of the blue.

Turkey vividly remember their previous Euro campaign, where they suffered three defeats and recorded the worst statistics among all 24 participants. Shortly after, Kuntz took over as coach, and it seemed like the team was improving under his leadership. However, they failed to qualify for the World Cup, losing to Portugal in the first playoff round. There were also doubts about their Euro qualification performance and results. Consequently, the German coach resigned in the fall, and Montella took over. For Vincenzo, this was his first experience of this kind, though he had already worked in Turkey at the club level. With a couple of wins in October, the Italian surprisingly achieved the goal early by securing qualification for the championship. In November, they added a victory over Germany, albeit in a friendly. However, the results in the spring were much more modest, to put it mildly: defeats against Hungary and Austria, with the latter match ending in a 1-6 loss. Against this backdrop, a 0-0 away draw against Italy last Tuesday seemed like a good result.
Poland holds a significant advantage, with 4 wins and 2 losses. The Poles won three of those matches, but the most recent encounter, which took place in 1993, was won by Turkey. Poland is playing at home and should be riding high after their success against Ukraine. The bet here is on Poland to win, but with a safety net of a "0" handicap.
Prediction for the match: Poland to win with 0.0 handicap.
