A draw against Poland will be sufficient for France to advance from the group stage. However, Didier Deschamps’ squad has faced criticism from journalists and fans for their performance in the first two matches. Despite creating numerous chances, France only scored one goal, which was an own goal by Maximilian Wöber.
In the previous games, Kylian Mbappé missed three clear scoring opportunities against Austria, while Antoine Griezmann failed to convert three great chances against the Netherlands.
Improving their ability to capitalize on these opportunities could reduce the criticism directed at the French national team.
Deschamps Chooses 4-4-2
Deschamps’ team encountered positional attack issues in their previous matches, with some areas near the opponent’s penalty area not being adequately filled. However, France compensated for these problems with effective openings by Adrien Rabiot and N’Golo Kanté in the half-spaces.
Against the Netherlands, Aurélien Tchouaméni played as a holding midfielder, while Adrien Rabiot and N’Golo Kanté acted as attacking midfielders. Antoine Griezmann and Marcus Thuram led the attack.

Deschamps may use a similar 4-4-2 system with a diamond in the center when Kylian Mbappé returns for the match against Poland.
Ousmane Dembélé might remain on the bench, as the coaching staff are reportedly not satisfied with his performance in the final phase of the attack. Eduardo Camavinga will miss the match against Poland due to injury.
Kylian Mbappé’s return for the upcoming match is still uncertain, although it seems likely that he will be able to play.
Poland
The Polish national team has lost all chances to qualify for the next stage of Euro 2024. In the game against the Netherlands, Poland fell short with a 1-2 loss, allowing numerous chances on their own goal due to a significant number of positional errors in defense.

In the second-round match against Austria, the Polish defense did not improve, leading to the concession of three goals. Individual errors and lack of team compactness in the defensive phase led to a 1-3 defeat.
If the Poles fail to play more organized in the match against France, they will undoubtedly suffer another defeat, likely conceding multiple goals.

Of course, France may not be highly motivated to play at their best before the playoffs, while Poland aims to finish the tournament positively.
However, there is a significant difference in quality between the teams. Even if Deschamps fields a full reserve squad, they will still be much stronger than the main Polish team.

The Polish team’s disciplined defense may offset the difference in class, but previous matches have revealed that Michal Probierz’s team is vulnerable in defense. The only real obstacle for the French could be their poor finishing.
Regardless, I predict a victory for France.

France vs Poland Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: 1 Half. France to win
- Odds: 1.7 (22Bet)
Before the playoffs, France is unlikely to be concerned that the match against Poland will be energy-consuming. Therefore, the French will probably try to address all their problems in the first half and score at least one goal against Poland.
Additionally, a rested Kylian Mbappé in the starting lineup can create significant problems for Poland in the first half.
