France vs Poland prediction, odds, betting tips, and best bets for Round of 16 World Cup 2022

France will lock horns with Poland at the Al-Thumama Stadium on Sunday in the round of 16 of the ongoing 2022 FIFA World Cup.

The defending champions kicked off their title defense with a dominant 4-1 comeback win over Australia before picking up a 2-1 win over Denmark in their second game, with star forward Kylian Mbappe scoring both goals for Les Blues. However, they suffered a controversial 1-0 defeat to Tunisia in their final group game, with VAR overturning a late Antoine Griezmann equalizer.

Poland, meanwhile, opened their World Cup campaign with a goalless draw against Mexico in which Robert Lewandowski squandered a penalty kick. They then beat Saudi Arabia in their second game before suffering a 2-0 defeat to Argentina in their third game, with the Eagles putting out a highly subpar display

France vs Poland Overview

After an abysmal showing at the 2010 World Cup which saw them get knocked out in the group stages, France has made it to the knockout rounds in their subsequent three appearances on the global stage.

They faced Nigeria in the last 16 back in 2014, winning 2-0, and they locked horns with Argentina four years later, picking up an entertaining 4-3 win.

Poland has made it to the knockout stages of the global showpiece for the first time since 1986. They suffered a comprehensive 4-0 defeat to Brazil back then and will hope for better luck this time around.

The Eagles are, however, winless in their last seven games against the French. They last scored a goal against France back in 1991, going on to lose the game 5-1. Poland will need something near spectacular to come out on top against one of the tournament’s favorites this weekend.

France vs Poland key stats

• As expected, reigning world champions France successfully topped their group, although they do enter the round of 16 on the back of a surprise 1-0 defeat against Tunisia in the final round of matches.
• France will revert back to their first-choice starting XI, with Theo Hernandez once again deputizing at left-back for injured brother Lucas.
• Poland advanced through to the round of 16 by the barest of margins, at one point by virtue of having accumulated fewer yellow cards than Mexico before a late Saudi Arabia goal meant that goal difference saw them through.
• After being left on the bench last time out against Argentina, Arkadiusz Milik is expected to return to the starting line-up for this match, partnering Robert Lewandowski in the attack.
