On Friday, Portugal defeated Poland 5:1 and once again it was seen that the Polish defense needs improvement. They have not kept a clean sheet in their last ten matches, with both teams scoring in nine of them. Poland made a dramatic 3:3 draw with Croatia in their last home game, and also managed to secure their only victory in the group stage with a 3:2 win as guests against Scotland. For the second consecutive match, Poland will be without their talisman Robert Lewandowski.
This match will determine which of the two teams will finish last in the group, and in order to avoid the last place, Scotland needs only a victory here. They finally achieved that on Friday, after beating Croatia 1:0 at home with 10 men remaining. In their previous 16 matches, Scotland had only one victory, against Gibraltar. Their two away games in the group were lost 1:2 to Croatia and Portugal.
Prediction: 1X double chance, both teams to scoreIt is clear that Poland's defense is not up to par, which has led to quite a few high-scoring matches for the team recently. This one also seems likely to have goals at both ends, but I still don't think Poland will lose, and despite the hard-fought victory over Croatia on Friday, it is evident that Scotland has not been performing very well lately.
