Poland vs Iceland
World – Friendlies
Date: Tuesday, 8 June 2021
Kick-off at 17:00 UK/ 18:00 CET
Venue: Stadion Miejski.
Poland are expected to make a deep run in the upcoming Euros, and are in the process of building momentum for it. At home, against the out-of-form Iceland, they are deemed to be the favorites this Tuesday.
As of now, Poland are ranked 21st in the world, and are in good from. Especially at home, they have been on a roll, and have been scoring goals in plenty.
They were a part of League A in the recently-concluded Nations League, and narrowly missed out on a ticket to the semis. Still, their performances were noteworthy, especially with Italy and Netherlands in their same group.
They had topped Group G in the Euro Qualifiers, and had conceded a total of five goals from their total ten games. All through the campaign, they had lost just once.
Meanwhile, Iceland are ranked 52nd in the world, and they were relegated to League B in the latest edition of the UNL. They had also missed out a ticket to the Euros – the team were placed third in Group H in the Qualifiers, and only the bottom-most placed Andorra, and Moldova had scored fewer goals than them.
Going on, Iceland also have a poor h2h record against this foe over the years, and have conceded in huge numbers during the while.
Moreover, should Poland deliver a huge performance in the Euros, the Ballon d’Or probability will increase for Robert Lewandowski.
Likely, expect a Poland victory.
Poland were unbeaten in 18 of their preceding 23 overall fixtures, and at home they have lost just once since 1918. This sole defeat had come against Netherlands. Note that they had also scored two or more goals in eight of their past twelve home appearances.
On the other hand, their counterparts had lost ten of their last thirteen overall match-ups, and they had conceded two or more goals in seven of their past nine games.
Moreover, they had also lost seven of their last nine road trips, and most importantly, they have a poor h2h record against this foe over the years.
By the looks of things, expect a Poland victory this Tuesday.
