Our prediction for the match Poland vs Croatia
Both teams played at the summer Euro and failed, managing not to reach the play-offs even under the current, loyal regulations. “The Kadra” started with a couple of defeats, to the Dutch and Austrians, ending with a 1-1 draw in the struggle with the French. As for “the Checkered Ones”, they never won either, losing with a 0-3 score to Spain and losing victories over Italy and even Albania due to the goals conceded in added minutes.
The teams met in the 2nd round. Before that, Zlatko Dalić’s wards lost with a 1-2 result in Portugal, but “the Kadra” managed to win with a 3-2 score in Scotland. Still, “the Checkered Ones” won thanks to Modric’s only goal.
Dalić initially could not call up Livaja, Vida and, that is the most important, Brozovic, who left after the Euro. Majer, Stanisic, Juranovic are currently injured, but they still did not call up Vlasic and Barišić. The team managed to secure a strong-willed 2-1 victory in the home battle against Scotland. The Poles lost Szczęsny and Grosicki after the Euro, and Zykh, Kash and Buksa are currently in the infirmary, not to mention Milik, who had “broken down” before the Euro. Performing without these footballers, the team predictably lost to the Portuguese 1-3.

The guests are considered the favourites of the following battle, but they are far from optimal shape, and the hosts have Lewandowski. We bet on “both teams to score: yes” (odd: 1.81).
