Poland vs Saudi Arabia Prediction & Betting Tips - World Cup
by Ioannis | in World Cup Predictions
Poland clash with Saudi Arabia at the Education City Stadium, in what is poised to be a crucial matchup for the future of Group C of the Qatar World Cup. Poland held a goalless draw with Mexico, and while they can count themselves unlucky after missing a potentially decisive penalty, they played second fiddle to the Mexicans in the majority of the game. Words are not enough to describe the magnitude of Saudi Arabia’s victory over Argentina. Already classed as the greatest World Cup upset of all time, the elation is so grand that Wednesday was declared as a national holiday in the country. Should the Saudi side claim points here, they will be in a great position to secure progression, while Poland need maximum points to ensure their fate does not go down to the wire against Argentina on the last round.

Poland - Saudi Arabia: Form Analysis
Despite Poland’s timid performance, a point is still a point and it also signified the Polish side’s third unbeaten game on the spin, notably having kept clean sheets in all of them. Their goalscoring has not been at its best in recent games however. Although admittedly playing against some tough opposition such as the likes of the Netherlands, Belgium and Wales, Poland have failed to score in three of their last five games, while they have scored more than once in just one of their last seven internationals. In addition, serious questions need to be asked of Poland’s major tournament credentials. They exited the Euro 2021 winless, while they have won just one of their last seven major tournament games, including their poor showing at the 2018 World Cup. With regards to Saudi Arabia, credits need to go to head coach Herve Renard, who has arguably masterminded the tactical masterclass of the tournament against Argentina, while his achievement of winning the AFCON with two different sides (Zambia and Ivory Coast) demonstrates his major tournament pedigree. Form wise, Saudi Arabia have now lost just one of their last nine games, winning three of those. Their defence has been top notch as well. Besides containing Argentina to a sole goal, they have managed shutouts in five of their last nine games, while twelve of their last sixteen games have failed to see both teams score.

Poland & Saudi Arabia Squad Analysis
Despite losing a crucial penalty kick, Robert Lewandovski remains Poland’s most potent threat at the moment. Matty Cash was one of the players who stood out against Mexico, with his movement at the wings creating valuable spaces for Poland’s attackers to utilise their aerial advantage. With regards to the Saudi side, all credit has to go to Saudi Arabia’s defensive line, who gave their all to offer their nation a historic display. Namely, goalkeeper Al Owais was grand in front of goal, being a key contributor of their stellar defensive performance in recent games. On the attacking side, Saleh Al Shehri scored a beautiful goal to bring the game level, in what was his second strike in his last three national team appearances.

Our Poland vs Saudi Arabia Prediction
Despite Poland possessing the strongest squad on paper, it is hard to side with the hosts in such low odds after the impression they left on Tuesday evening. The Polish side were poor on the attacking front and do not possess impressive major tournament credentials as far as recent years are concerned, and they are surely offered too short against a Saudi side brimming with confidence after their historic opening win. Thus, backing the Saudi Arabian side on a double chance is the smartest play in this fixture.
