Poland takes on Austria at the Olympiastadion in Berlin on Friday evening as the two bottom sides in Group D of Euro 2024 clash. Poland looked like they could cause an upset in their opener when Adam Buksa opened the scoring against Netherlands on Sunday. It wasn’t to be for Michal Probierz’s men, as goals from Cody Gakpo and Wout Weghorst turned the game on its head for the Dutch. They now need to win this game if they hope to get to the knockout stages of Euro 2024, as three points in their final game against France is unlikely.
Austria has already locked horns with France, who are among the favourites to win the tournament. It was a battling display in which Austra showed some glimpses of promise, however, they were fortunate only to lose the game 1-0, as Kylian Mbappe missed one on one when it looked easier to score. They’re now in the same boat as their opponents here, realistically needing to get all 3 points if they are to progress. This one is likely a tight, competitive game, so goals may come at a premium.
It’s the Austrians who the bookies are backing to win this one, but their price in the match result market is big enough to tempt those who feel the game will go that way. If you feel as we do, that the game will be tight, then a punt on under 2.5 match goals might also be on the cards. Speaking of cards, Austria picked up 5 against France and Marcel Sabitzer was fortunate not to be one of them. Our final tip is for Sabitzer to pick up a card in the game, as he loves to get stuck in.
