England vs Poland: Storylines andHead-to-Head
These two are probably favorites to finish at the first two spots of Group I of the European Qualifiers. The Three Lions are expected to be at the top by the end of the group stage, while Poland is a contender for the second seed.
England have already begun their journey with the right foot aiming to accomplish that goal, which would seal them a place in Qatar2022. The team managed by Gareth Southgate destroyed San Marino by a five-goal margin in the opening round and defeated Albania in the following one.
On the other hand, Poland startedwith an eventful draw against Hungary, the other side that remains unbeaten so far, and then claimed the win over Andorra.However, they recently suffered a huge blow as theirworld-class striker Robert Lewandowski has been ruled out through injury. With such an absence, England may be favored to keepanother clean sheet in the tournament.
Both have met many times on the pitch before, and England was dominant most of the timewith 11 wins in 19 games. Poland have beaten the Three Lions only once, in the 1974 World Cup Qualifiers. Can they emulate that featmore than 40 years later?
