France vs Poland
France was expected to end their group stage run remaining unbeaten, but this year’s World Cup has been the most unexpected. Giants have fallen against the minnows, and prediction has been proven difficult to give. An entire star-studded France team will be on a mission to secure a win that could direct them on the right path in their pursuit of World Cup defense.
Poland’s qualification was just a game of fate as they remained above the Mexicans with just a single goal difference. Robert Lewandowski-led Poland side will be up against a powerful opposition to become one of those teams who defeat a more considerable foe in this tournament.
2022 FIFA World Cup R-16 France vs Poland: Team news
As Karim Benzema was rumored to make a sensational return to the France squad again, there are even unconfirmed claims that he has been spotted back in Qatar. The absence of Lucas Hernandez is the biggest headache for Deschamps, as he doesn’t have an established Left Back to fill up the void. He would be opting for his most robust lineup against a tough Poland opposition to move an inch closer to the super 8.
No casualties have yet been reported from the Polish squad, but neither have their stars performed at their best. An unconventional performance against Argentina would be something the players will be hoping to turn around. Manager Czeslaw Michniewicz would be expecting the whole squad at his disposal to beat the Tournament favorites.
