There will be fireworks when Wales and Poland face each other at Cardiff City Stadium on Tuesday evening. The Dragons booked their place in the EURO 2024 playoffs final by beating Finland 4-1, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Robert Lewandowski and Co. Joe Low, Ben Cabango, and Wes Burns had withdrawn from the squad with injuries before the triumph over Finland, while experienced midfielder Aaron Ramsey remains doubtful.
The Poles, on the other hand, faced no difficulties in a 5-1 crushing of Estonia, but we expect a low-scoring contest this time out as both sides are going to adopt a cautious approach in the decider. You should bear in mind that under 2.5 goals have been netted in three of the previous four meetings between Wales and Poland in all competitions. As for the visiting side, Aston Villa right-back Matty Cash should miss out with injury.
How the bookies view it
This is a hard one to call but home advantage gives Wales the edge with the bookies. Page’s side are 9/10 favourites with Unibet to qualify but the price increases to 7/5 with 49jili for a win inside 90 minutes. Poland are a tempting 23/20 at Paddy Power to go through and 49jili price them at 9/4 to do it without extra time or penalties. The draw at 90 minutes pays a best 21/10 at BetMGM.
Head to head
Wales will have to make history if they’re to reach the finals as they have never beaten Poland before. The Poles have won six of the seven meetings, with the other match ending in a draw. They last met in the Nations League two years ago, with a 2-1 home victory in Warsaw followed by a 1-0 Poland triumph in Cardiff.
Players to watch
Brennan Johnson was one of the Welsh scorers in the semi-final and the Spurs winger has the pace to trouble Poland’s defence. He’s a generous 10/3 at 49jili casino for anytime scorer while Paddy Power are offering 15/8 on him providing either a goal or assist.
Lewandowski is always worth backing when he’s above evens for anytime scorer and Paddy Power have him at a tempting 15/8 for goal. The same firm also offer 13/8 on either a goal or assist for the Barcelona man and that looks good value.
Recent Meetings
- Their first head-to-head meeting recorded in 1973 ended in a win for Wales and they have not won a single game against Poland since then.
- Three of the last four meetings between the two had goals under 2.5 ft.
- Poland is on a four-match winning streak against Wales at this venue.
Wales vs Poland Prediction
The home form of Wales looks stunning of late. They are on a five-match unbeaten streak at home and won three on the stretch. Meanwhile, Poland had an unimpressive four-match losing streak before sealing a 0-2 victory against the Faroe Islands in their latest away match. Such a stat which displays their recent form stands tall of the h2h dominance of Wales here. Also, the in-form Wales will have a super edge at home and hence, we are going for Wales to win as the main pick here.
Since they both have a decent defensive line and we expect a win for Wales, goals are unlikely to come over 2.5 ft. In that case, the tip of the 2.5 goals tip seems to be another ideal tip to go back here. For the final tip, we like to go back Wales to win scoring 1-0 correct score.
