France vs Poland Team News 

 

Kylian Mbappe is expected to return to the France XI having missed the 0-0 draw with Netherlands and will have to play in a mask having broken his nose in the 1-0 win over Austria. Aurelien Tchouameni may be the man to make way.  

 

For Poland, Bartosz Salamon remains a doubt having missed the loss to Austria. Robert Lewandowski started that one on the bench so should feature from the outset in Dortmund.

Euro 2024 - France vs Poland: Team News and Prediction

 

France (4231) - Maignan; Kounde, Upamecano, Saliba; Hernandez; Kante, Rabiot; Dembele, Griezmann, Thuram; Mbappe 

 

Poland (352) - Szczesny; Bednarek, Dawidowicz, Kiwior; Frankowski, Zielinski, Slisz, Piotrowski, Zalewski; Buksa, Lewandowski

 

France vs Poland Key Battle

 

France are yet to concede a goal at Euro 2024 having kept back-to-back clean sheets against Austria and the Netherlands. Les Bleus haven't been their best going forward but are remaining steadfast with Adrien Rabiot key in the middle of the park. While not the most glamourous name in the France setup, Rabiot is a solid shield for the backline and his role in the side is key as Didier Deschamps aims to make his side as difficult to break down as possible.

 

That'll be put to the test when France take on Poland on Tuesday evening. The Eagles have already been knocked out of the competition but will look to see out their stay in Germany on a high. Piotr Zielinski is the man tasked with providing the ammunition for the Poland frontline and has earned a better WhoScored rating (6.97) than any other Eagles player at Euro 2024.
