France head coach, Didier Deschamps has cautioned his squad against downplaying Poland's chances in the round 16 clash. He says Poland has defended very well and it could be difficult playing against a team that loves to defend well. On the other hand, Poland's head coach, Michniewicz, has urged his squad to supply Lewandowski with better passes in the round 16 clash with France having failed to do much in their last game.

France vs Poland World Cup Predictions by Football Ground Guide

France meets Poland for the second time in a World Cup knockout stage. Poland won the previous World Cup encounter with Les Bleus in a thrilling 3-2. The Poles have made it this far in what has been huge luck and will now attempt to reach the quarterfinals. On the other hand, France has one of the best teams in the 2022 World Cup. However, a poor showing against Morocco that the French side should be an important reflection heading into this game against Poland that should now be more determined than ever. Here are our free France vs Poland predictions:

First-Half Result Prediction-Draw at Half-Time

First France vs Poland prediction is a draw at half-time for odds 137/100 (2.37). The World Cup 2022 knockout clash between France and Poland is one of the most anticipated as either side will potentially get eliminated. So, a draw at the break is a good pick for the game. Poland is expected to turn up like they have done before in the 2022 World Cup. Poland showed glimpses of their good defending in the group stages where they bagged two clean sheets from three games. And while France had only one clean sheet in as many games, Les Bleus remain a favourite to reach the quarterfinals in the 2022 World Cup. We predict a stalemate at the break.

Total Match Goals Predictions-Under 2.5 Goals

Our second France vs Poland prediction is under 2.5 goals for odds of 1.90. Despite being the favourites to progress, France will have a tough time against Poland’s strong backline. Poland has reached this far due to their good defence. You could say the World Cup 2022 begins right at the knockout stages and no team will want to be a pushover. This is expected to be a tense clash,

Correct Score Prediction-2-0 to France

Lastly, we predict a 2-0 win for France when they clash with Poland today in the 2022 World Cup knockout game. Bet on France to qualify for the quarterfinals in this knockout clash with France. But because France qualifying has odds of 1.13, a correct score prediction of 2-1 to Les Bleus is our last prediction for the game and should fetch a better price. France has more strikers on which to rely as opposed to Poland which looks up to Lewandowski as the main striker.

France vs Poland World Cup 2022 Knockout Fixture Preview

The date for the second knockout clash between France and Poland in a World Cup is set for Sunday 4^th December 2022. We have more details for France vs Poland in the team previews below.

France

France kicked off their 2022 World Cup campaign in style with a massive 4-1 victory over Australia. However, a 2-1 win over Denmark in round 2 of the group stages wasn’t convincing enough of a team that many believed would vehemently defend their 2018 World Cup title. A loss to Morocco in the third group-stage match cast doubt on Didier Deschamps's readiness and his squad to defend their crown. Now, France meets Poland in round 16. Poland hasn’t been convincing enough but the fact that the Poles made it this far should be a reason enough to smell the coffee. This will not be an easy game for France but they are by a mile the favourite to defeat Poland in this 2022 World Cup knockout game.

Kylian Mbappe came in late in the game against Morocco but his pressing wasn't enough to rescue a point for Les Bleus. We expect a stronger and better performance from France in this clash with Poland. Here is the predicted France team lineup against Poland:

• Hugo Lloris, Jules Kounde, Dayot Upamecano, Raphael Verane, Theo Hernandez, Aurelien Tchouameni, Adrien Rabiot, Ousmane Dembele, Antoine Griezman, Kylian Mbappe and Oliver Giroud.

Poland

Poland progressed to the 2022 World Cup round 16 with four points from the group stage, two points less than France which had 6 points in the group stages. The Polish side hasn’t been very entertaining in the 2022 World Cup but they will now have to do more to progress. Morocco showed that France is beatable, so we expect Poland’s head coach, Czeslaw Michniewicz, to pick some lessons from Morocco’s setup against France in the last group-stage game. Most importantly, we look forward to a better performance from Poland with the potential of a Lewandowski goal to bet on ahead of this clash with France.

Here is the predicted Poland team lineup against France today at 15:00 GMT at Al-Thumama Stadium:

• Wojciech Szczesny, Matty Cash, Jabuk Kiwior, Kamil Glik, Bartosz Bereszyriski, Piotr Zielinksi, Krystian Bielik, Sebastian Szymanski, Przemyslaw Frankowski, Arkdiusz Milik and Robert Lewandowski.
