2022 FIFA World Cup R16 France vs Poland: Live Stream, Match Timings, and Preview

France takes on Poland to kick off their Knockout phase campaign. The European giants fell to a defeat against Tunisia in their last group match and will be hoping to regain their form against a defensively strong Polish side. The France side recently achieved the feat of qualifying for three knockout stages successively for the first time.

Wojciech Szczesny became the hero for quite a while after he saved the penalty from Lionel Messi but eventually lost 2-0 at the end of the game. Robert Lewandowski would be feeling the pressure of not scoring as often as he does for his club FC Barcelona and is hoping to break the deadlock in one of the most crucial games of his national career.
